138 (A)Nnaakutenderezanga Ayi Mukama, n’omutima gwange gwonna;
ne mu maaso ga bakatonda abalala nnaayimbanga okukutendereza.
2 (B)Nvuunama nga njolekedde Yeekaalu yo Entukuvu,
ne ntendereza erinnya lyo
olw’okwagala kwo n’olw’obwesigwa bwo;
kubanga wagulumiza ekigambo kyo
n’erinnya lyo okusinga ebintu byonna.
3 Olunaku lwe nakukoowoolerako wannyanukula;
n’onnyongeramu amaanyi mu mwoyo gwange.
4 (C)Bakabaka bonna ab’omu nsi banaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama,
nga bawulidde ebigambo ebiva mu kamwa ko.
5 Banaatenderezanga ebikolwa byo Ayi Mukama;
kubanga ekitiibwa kya Mukama kinene.
6 (D)Newaakubadde nga Mukama asukkulumye,
naye afaayo eri abo abeetoowaza; naye abeegulumiza ababeera wala.
7 (E)Newaakubadde nga neetooloddwa ebizibu,
naye ggwe okuuma obulamu bwange;
ogolola omukono gwo eri abalabe bange abakambwe,
era omukono gwo ogwa ddyo ne gumponya.
8 (F)Mukama alituukiriza ebyo by’anteekeddeteekedde;
kubanga okwagala kwo, Ayi Mukama, kubeerera emirembe gyonna.
Tolekulira ebyo bye watonda.

Psalm 138[a]
Hymn of a Grateful Heart
1 Of David.
I
I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;(A)
in the presence of the angels[b] to you I sing.
2 I bow low toward your holy temple;
I praise your name for your mercy and faithfulness.
For you have exalted over all
your name and your promise.
3 On the day I cried out, you answered;
you strengthened my spirit.
II
4 All the kings of earth will praise you, Lord,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5 They will sing of the ways of the Lord:
“How great is the glory of the Lord!”
6 The Lord is on high, but cares for the lowly(B)
and knows the proud from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of dangers,
you guard my life when my enemies rage.
You stretch out your hand;
your right hand saves me.
8 The Lord is with me to the end.
Lord, your mercy endures forever.
Never forsake the work of your hands!
Footnotes
- Psalm 138 A thanksgiving to God, who came to the rescue of the psalmist. Divine rescue was not the result of the psalmist’s virtues but of God’s loving fidelity (Ps 138:1–3). The act is not a private transaction but a public act that stirs the surrounding nations to praise God’s greatness and care for the people (Ps 138:4–6). The psalmist, having experienced salvation, trusts that God will always be there in moments of danger (Ps 138:7–8).
- 138:1 In the presence of the angels: heavenly beings who were completely subordinate to Israel’s God. The earthly Temple represents the heavenly palace of God.

Psalm 138
King James Version
Psalm 138
King James Version
138 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
