From lamsa's translation ' for thou hast magnified thy word above every name'
Can someone shed some more light , understanding on this verse, thank you.
Shlama Akhi Sean:
The Hebrew of Psalm 138:2 reads thus...
I will worship....toward your holy Temple
esh'takhaveh......el-Hayikal kad'sh'kha
and praise...your name
v'odeh.......et-sh'mekha
for your lovingkindness..and for your truth
al-khas'd'kha.................v'al-emitekha
for magnified..above all your NAME..(is) your WORD
ki-hig'dal'ta.......al-kol-shim'kha........im'ratekha
The capital letters are mine. This is a literal translation.
Shlama,
Stephen
