Psalm 138

By David.

Verse 1I will give you thanks with my whole heart.

Before the gods,a I will sing praises to you.

Verse 2I 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.

Verse 3In the day that I called, you answered me.

You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

Verse 4All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD,

for they have heard the words of your mouth.

Verse 5Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD,

for the LORD’s glory is great!

Verse 6For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly;

but he knows the proud from afar.

Verse 7Though 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.

Verse 8The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me.

Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever.

Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
