Psalms 138

A Psalm of David.

1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart:Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee. 2I will worship toward thy holy temple,And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3In the day that I called thou answeredst me,Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. 4All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah,For they have heard the words of thy mouth. 5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah;For great is the glory of Jehovah. 6For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly;But the haughty he knoweth from afar. 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me;Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies,And thy right hand will save me. 8Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me:Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
