Psalms 138
Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Favor.
A Psalm of David.
11I will give You thanks with all my heart; I will sing Your praises before the 2gods.2I will bow down 3toward Your holy temple And 4give thanks to Your name for Your mercy and Your 5truth; For You have 6made Your 7word great 8according to all Your name.3On the day I 9called, You answered me; You made me bold with 10strength in my soul.
411All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, Lord, When they have heard the words of Your mouth.5And they will 12sing of the ways of the Lord, For 13great is the glory of the Lord.6For 14the Lord is exalted, Yet He 15looks after the lowly, But He knows the 16haughty from afar.
7Though I 17walk in the midst of trouble, You will 1819revive me; You will 20reach out with Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will 21save me.8The Lord will 22accomplish what concerns me; Your 23faithfulness, Lord, is everlasting; 24Do not abandon the 25works of Your hands.
