Psalms 138

By David.

¹ I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods,¹ 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.
