Chapter 138

The Lord Alone Is Worthy of Worship and Praise

(A Psalm of David.)

I Will Praise and Worship Him

• 1. I WILL praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
  
  • Hebrew
    • לְדָוִד אוֹדְךָ בְכָל־לִבִּי נֶגֶד אֱלֹהִים אֲזַמְּרֶךָּ׃
• 2. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
  
  • Hebrew
    • אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל קָדְשְׁךָ וְאוֹדֶה אֶת־שְׁמֶךָ עַל־חַסְדְּךָ וְעַל־אֲמִתֶּךָ כִּי־הִגְדַּלְתָּ עַל־כָּל־שִׁמְךָ אִמְרָתֶךָ׃
• 3. In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
  
  • Hebrew
    • בְּיוֹם קָרָאתִי וַתַּעֲנֵנִי תַּרְהִבֵנִי בְנַפְשִׁי עֹז׃

All Will Praise and Worship Him

• 4. All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when thy hear the words of thy mouth.
  
  • Hebrew
    • יוֹדוּךָ יְהוָה כָּל־מַלְכֵי־אָרֶץ כִּי שָׁמְעוּ אִמְרֵי־פִיךָ׃
• 5. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
  
  • Hebrew
    • וְיָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵי יְהוָה כִּי גָדוֹל כְּבוֹד יְהוָה׃
• 6. Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
  
  • Hebrew
    • כִּי־ רָם יְהוָה וְשָׁפָל יִרְאֶה וְגָבֹהַּ מִמֶּרְחָק יְיֵדָע׃

The LORD Will Protect and Perfect Me

• 7. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
  
  • Hebrew
    • אִם־אֵלֵךְ בְּקֶרֶב צָרָה תְּחַיֵּנִי עַל אַף אֹיְבַי תִּשְׁלַח יָדֶךָ וְתוֹשִׁיעֵנִי יְמִינֶךָ׃
• 8. The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
  
  • Hebrew
    • יְהוָה יִגְמֹר בַּעֲדִי יְהוָה חַסְדְּךָ לְעוֹלָם מַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אַל־תֶּרֶף׃
