תהילים 138
1
לְדָוִד אוֹדְךָ בְכׇל־לִבִּי נֶגֶד אֱלֹהִים אֲזַמְּרֶךָּ׃
Of David. I praise You with all my heart, sing a hymn to You before the divine beings;
2
אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל קׇדְשְׁךָ וְאוֹדֶה אֶת־שְׁמֶךָ עַל־חַסְדְּךָ וְעַל־אֲמִתֶּךָ כִּי־הִגְדַּלְתָּ עַל־כׇּל־שִׁמְךָ אִמְרָתֶךָ׃
I bow toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your steadfast love and faithfulness, because You have exalted Your name, Your word, above all.
3
בְּיוֹם קָרָאתִי וַתַּעֲנֵנִי תַּרְהִבֵנִי בְנַפְשִׁי עֹז׃
When I called, You answered me, You inspired me with courage.
4
יוֹדוּךָ יְהֹוָה כׇּל־מַלְכֵי־אָרֶץ כִּי שָׁמְעוּ אִמְרֵי־פִיךָ׃
All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O ETERNAL One, for they have heard the words You spoke.
5
וְיָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי־גָדוֹל כְּבוֹד יְהֹוָה׃
They shall sing of GOD’s ways, “Great is GOD’s majesty!”
6
כִּי־רָם יְהֹוָה וְשָׁפָל יִרְאֶה וְגָבֹהַּ מִמֶּרְחָק יְיֵדָע׃
From way up high GOD sees the lowly; aloft, yet perceiving from afar.
7
אִם־אֵלֵךְ בְּקֶרֶב צָרָה תְּחַיֵּנִי עַל אַף אֹיְבַי תִּשְׁלַח יָדֶךָ וְתוֹשִׁיעֵנִי יְמִינֶךָ׃
Though I walk among enemies, You preserve me in the face of my foes; You extend Your hand; with Your right hand You deliver me.
8
יְהֹוָה יִגְמֹר בַּעֲדִי יְהֹוָה חַסְדְּךָ לְעוֹלָם מַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אַל־תֶּרֶף׃ {פ}
GOD will settle accounts for me. O ETERNAL One, Your steadfast love is eternal; do not forsake the work of Your hands.
