TEHILLIM 138

Of Dawiḏ.

1 I will praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 with all my heart;
Before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim, I sing Your praises.

2 I bow myself toward Your qodesh Hĕyḵal,
And give thanks to Your Name;
For Your kindness and for Your truth;
For You have made great Your Word,
Your Name, above all.

3 On the day I called, You answered me,
You made me bold with strength in my being.

4 Let all the sovereigns of the earth
Give thanks to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
When they shall hear the words of Your mouth.

5 And let them sing of the Ways of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
For great is the esteem of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

6 Though 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is exalted,
He looks on the humble;
But the proud He perceives from a distance.

7 Though I walk in the midst of distress,
You revive me; You stretch out Your hand
Against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand saves me.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 does perfectly for me.
O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, Your kindness is everlasting.
Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
