Psalms 138 — Novel English Bible

1 I will give you yadah (thanks) with my whole lab (heart). Before the Alahayam (), I will sing zamar (praises) to you.

2 I will shachah (bow) down toward your qadash (set apart / make holy) hayakal (temple), and give yadah (thanks) to your sham (name) for your loving chasad (grace) and for your amath (truth); for you have exalted your sham (name) and your amarah (sayings) above all.

3 In the yawam (day) that I qaraa (called), you inah (answer / respond) me. You encouraged me with iz (strength / might / refuge) in my napash (soul).

4 All the malakay (kings) of the aratz (Earth/land) will give you yadah (thanks), Yahawah (), for they have shamai (hearken / hear) the amaray (words) of your pah (mouth).

5 Yes, they will shayar (sing) of the darakay (ways) of Yahawah (); for gadawal (very great/important/mighty) is Yahawah () kabawad (glory).

6 For though Yahawah () is rawam (will lift up), yet he raah (see) after the lowly; but the gabah (proud), he yadai (knows) from afar.

7 Though I yalak (walk) in the qarab (among / near) of tzarah (trouble), you will chayah (revive) me. You will shalach (send) forth your yad (hand) against the ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of my ayab (enemy). Your right yamayan (right hand) will yashai (salvation) me.

8 Yahawah () will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving chasad (grace), Yahawah (), endures iwalam (forever). Don't rapah (forsake) the maishay (works) of your own yad (hand).
