Psalms 138

1 Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

2 I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever—do not abandon the works of Your hands.

1 ¶ [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and] strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is] the glory of the LORD.

6 ¶ Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

1 David's. I thank thee with all my heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

2 I will worship in thy holy temple, and give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy faithfulness: for thou hast magnified thy name above all things by thy word.

3 When I call upon thee, hear me, and give great strength unto my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth give thee thanks, O LORD, because they have heard the word of thy mouth,

5 And sing in the ways of the LORD, that the glory of the LORD may be great.

6 For the LORD is high, and looketh on the lowly, and knoweth the proud afar off.

7 When I walk in the midst of fear, thou hast refreshed me, and hast stretched out thine hand upon the wrath of mine enemies, and hast saved me with thy right hand.

8 The LORD will make an end of it for my sake. O Lord, thy lovingkindness is everlasting. Thou wilt not leave the work of thy hands.
