Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto 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 give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word 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 that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in 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 give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words 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 For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar.

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

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

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 perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

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