Psalm 138

The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 138. By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you. I will bow down towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all. In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul. All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth. Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great! For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar. Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me. The LORD will fulfil that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

By David
I will give you thanks with my whole heart
Before the gods, I will sing praises to you
I will bow down towards your holy temple
And give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth
For you have exalted your Name and your Word above all
In the day that I called, you answered me
You encouraged me with strength in my soul
All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth
Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORDs glory is great
For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly
But he knows the proud from afar
Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me
You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies
Your right hand will save me
The LORD will fulfil that which concerns me
Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever
Dont forsake the works of your own hands
