| It is poetry, and might even be susceptible of a kind of deliberate sensus plenoir.
The ESV goes: Psa 138:2 "I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word."
Literally, it goes "for you made great upon all name of you word of you."
Over all, I prefer the KJV, as the Geneva has supplied a "by".
