Psalms 138

The Lord’s Goodness to the Faithful

1I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You.

2I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

3In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.

4All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, When they hear the words of Your mouth.

5Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, For great is the glory of the Lord.

6Though the Lord is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar.

7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.

8The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
