Psalm 138

Psalm 138

"I give thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; 

before the gods I sing Your praise; 

I bow down toward Your holy temple 

and give thanks to Your name for  

Your steadfast love 

and 

Your faithfulness, 

for You have exalted above all things 

Your Name 

and 

Your Word. 

On the day I called,  

You answered me; 

my strength of soul You increased. 

---

All the kings of the earth shall give You thanks, 

O LORD, for they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, 

for great 

is the glory of the LORD. 

For though the LORD is high, 

He regards the lowly, 

but the haughty He knows from afar. 

 ---

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, 

You preserve my life; 

You stretch out Your hand 

against the wrath of my enemies, and  

Your right hand delivers me. 

---

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me; 

Your steadfast love, 

O LORD, 

endures forever.

Do not forsake the work of Your hands."
