Psalms 138:2-8

2I will bow down 1toward Your holy temple And 2give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your 3truth; For You have 4magnified Your 5word 6according to all Your name.3On the day I 7called, You answered me; You made me bold with 8strength in my soul.

4 9All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O Lord, When they have heard the words of Your mouth.5And they will 10sing of the ways of the Lord, For 11great is the glory of the Lord.6For 12though the Lord is exalted, Yet He 13regards the lowly, But the 14haughty He knows from afar.

7Though I 15walk in the midst of trouble, You will 16 17revive me; You will 18stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will 19save me.8The Lord will 20accomplish what concerns me; Your 21lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; 22Do not forsake the 23works of Your hands.
