Psalm 138

Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Favor.

¹I will give You thanks with all my heart;

I will sing Your praises before the gods.

²I will bow down toward Your holy temple

And give thanks to Your name for Your mercy and Your truth;

For You have made Your word great according to all Your name.

³On the day I called, You answered me;

You made me bold with strength in my soul.

⁴¶All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, Lord ,

When they have heard the words of Your mouth.

⁵And they will sing of the ways of the Lord ,

For great is the glory of the Lord .

⁶For the Lord is exalted,

Yet He looks after the lowly,

But He knows the haughty from afar.

⁷¶Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;[#138:7 Or keep me alive]

You will reach out with Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,

And Your right hand will save me.

⁸The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;

Your faithfulness, Lord , is everlasting;

Do not abandon the works of Your hands.
