Psalm 138
By David.
1 I
will give you
thanks with my
whole heart.
Before the gods,
I will sing
praises to you.
2 I
will bow down
toward your holy
temple,
and give thanks
to your Name
for your loving
kindness and for
your truth;
for you have
exalted your Name
and your Word
above all.
3 In
the day that
I called, you
answered me.
You encouraged me
with strength in
my soul.
4 All
the kings of
the earth will
give you thanks,
LORD,
for they have
heard the words
of your mouth.
5 Yes,
they will sing
of the ways
of the LORD,
for the LORD’s
glory is great!
6 For
though the LORD
is high, yet
he looks after
the lowly;
but he knows
the proud from
afar.
7 Though I
walk in the
middle of trouble,
you will revive
me.
You will stretch
out your hand
against the wrath
of my enemies.
Your right hand
will save me.
8 The
LORD will fulfill
that which
concerns me.
Your loving kindness,
LORD, endures
forever.
Don’t forsake the
works of your
own hands.
