Psalms 138
1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.
2 I 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.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.
3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.
And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar.
For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me.
8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
O Lord, thou shalt recompense [them] on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.
