Tehillim 138

1 I will thank Thee with my whole lev;

before the elohim will I sing praise unto Thee.

²I will worship toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh,

and praise Shmecha (Thy Name)

for Thy chesed and for Thy emes;

for Thou hast magnified Thy Word

above Kol Shimcha (all Thy Name) .

³In the day when I called out, Thou answeredst me,

and madest me bold with oz (strength) in my nefesh.

⁴Kol Malchei Aretz shall praise Thee, Hashem ,

when they hear the words of Thy mouth.

⁵Yes, they shall sing of the Darkhei Hashem ;

for gadol is the Kavod Hashem .

⁶Though Hashem be on high,

yet He looks upon the lowly;

but the proud He knoweth from afar.

⁷Though I walk in the midst of tzoros,

Thou wilt preserve me alive;

Thou shalt stretch forth Thine yad against the wrath of mine enemies,

and Thy Yamin (Right Hand) shall save me.

⁸Hashem will fulfill that which concerneth me;

Thy chesed, O Hashem , endureth l'olam;

forsake not the works of Thine own yadayim.
