Psalms 138

1 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.

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 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.

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

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 give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words 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 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

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

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

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

7 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.

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

The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
