Psalms 138

1 “By David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart: before [thee], O God, will I sing praise unto thee.

A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

2 I will bow myself down before thy holy temple, and I will thank thy name for thy kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified above all thy name thy promise.

I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

3 On the day when I called didst thou answer me, and raise me up with strength in my soul.

When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, when they hear the promises of thy mouth.

All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

5 And they will sing on the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

6 For exalted is the Lord, yet doth he regard the lowly; but the proud he punisheth from afar.

For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

7 If I should walk in the midst of distress, thou wilt revive me: against the wrath of my enemies wilt thou stretch forth thy hand, and thy right hand will save me.

Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue me.

8 The Lord will accomplish [all] in my behalf; O Lord, thy kindness endureth for ever: the works of thy own hands do not abandon.

The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.
