Psalms 138

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

I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

2 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!

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

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

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

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

May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

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

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

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

For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

7 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!

If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

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

The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
