Psalm 138

Psalm 138 in the World English Bible (WEB), a public domain modern English update of the American Standard Version of 1901. It gives God's personal name as "Yahweh" 6 times in this chapter, where the Berean Standard Bible prints LORD.

1

By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

2

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

3

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!

6

For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

7

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

8

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
