Psalms 138

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

I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

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 will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

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

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

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

May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

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

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

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

For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

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 shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved 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 repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
