Tehillim 138 : Transliteration

Ledavid, odechá vechol libi, négued Elohim azamerêca
Eshtachave el hechal codshechá veode et shemêcha, al chasdechá veal amitêcha, ki higdálta al col shimchá imratêcha
Beiom caráti vataanêni, tar’hivêni venafshi oz

Ki ram Adonai veshafal yir’ê, vegavôha mimerchac ieiedá

Adonai yigmor baadi, Adonai chasdechá leolam, maassê iadêcha al téref

Tehillim 138 - Tehillim translated into english

1. Of David. I will praise you with my whole heart; before princes I will sing praise to you.
2. I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have magnified your word above all your name.
3. In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.
4. All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, when they hear the words of your mouth.
5. And they shall sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
6. Though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly; but the arrogant he knows from far away.
7. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me; you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.
8. May the Lord fulfil his purpose for me! Your loving kindness, O Lord, endures for ever; do not forsake the works of your own hands.
