Psalms 138:1-6

¹Yahweh, I thank you with all my inner being. I sing to praise you in front of the idols of false gods to ridicule/belittle them.

²I bow down while I look towards your sacred temple, and I thank you MTY because you faithfully love us and faithfully do all that you have promised. You have shown that both you MTY and what you have promised to do are greater than anything else.

³On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.

⁴Yahweh, some day all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.

⁵They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.

⁶Yahweh, you are supreme, but you take care of people who are considered to be unimportant. And you know what proud people are doing, even though they are far away from you and think that you do not see them.
