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 with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

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 toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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

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

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

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

Yea, they shall 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.

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 quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

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

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
