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.

“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to 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 goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified 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 called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage 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 promises 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 of 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.

The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know 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 through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!

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 perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
