Psalms 138

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

I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you.

2 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.

I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.

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

Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

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

Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knows afar off.

7 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.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.

8 The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
