The Psalms 138


Thanksgiving for the LORD‘s Favor
A Psalm of David.

1  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 loving-kindness 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.
