< Psalms 138 >
1 “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 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 when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage my soul.
4 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.
6 The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know from afar.
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!
8 The LORD will perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
