Psalm 138

English Standard Version

from Crossway

Give Thanks to the Lord

Of David.

1 I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; (Ps 95:3; Ps 96:5; Ps 111:1) 

2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. (1Ki 8:29; Ps 5:7; Ps 28:2) 

3 On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased. 

4 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth, (Ps 102:15) 

5 and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. (Ps 103:7) 

6 For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. (Ps 131:1; Pr 3:34; Lu 1:48; Jas 4:6) 

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. (1Sa 24:6; Job 1:12; Ps 23:4; Ps 60:5; Ps 71:20) 

8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (1Ch 16:41; Ps 57:2; Ps 100:3; Ps 136:1; Php 1:6)

Psalm 138

Louis Segond 1910

1 De David. Je te célèbre de tout mon coeur, Je chante tes louanges en la présence de Dieu. 

2 Je me prosterne dans ton saint temple, Et je célèbre ton nom, à cause de ta bonté et de ta fidélité, Car ta renommée s'est accrue par l'accomplissement de tes promesses. 

3 Le jour où je t'ai invoqué, tu m'as exaucé, Tu m'as rassuré, tu as fortifié mon âme. 

4 Tous les rois de la terre te loueront, ô Éternel! En entendant les paroles de ta bouche; 

5 Ils célébreront les voies de l'Éternel, Car la gloire de l'Éternel est grande. 

6 L'Éternel est élevé: il voit les humbles, Et il reconnaît de loin les orgueilleux. 

7 Quand je marche au milieu de la détresse, tu me rends la vie, Tu étends ta main sur la colère de mes ennemis, Et ta droite me sauve. 

8 L'Éternel agira en ma faveur. Éternel, ta bonté dure toujours, N'abandonne pas les oeuvres de tes mains!
