Psalms 138

1 A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

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

2 I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

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 When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

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

4 All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

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

5 And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

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

6 For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

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

7 Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue me.

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 performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.

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