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.

[By David.] I will give you thanks, LORD, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

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 bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.

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

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged 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 will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

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

Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the LORD's glory.

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

For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

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, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will 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 fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
