Psalms 138

¹I will give thee thanks with my whole heart:

Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

²I 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.

³In the day that I called thou answeredst me,

Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

⁴All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD ,

For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

⁵Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD ;

For great is the glory of the LORD .

⁶For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly:

But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

⁷Though 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.

⁸The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:

Thy mercy, O LORD , endureth for ever;

Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
