Psalms 138

1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to thee;

2 I will worship toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

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 whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage my soul.

4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises of thy mouth!

5 And let them sing in 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 the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know from afar.

7 Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved 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 O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.

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