Psalms 138

1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

2 I will worship towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

3 In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

7 Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

8 O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.

The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
