Psalms 138

1 Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.

I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

2 I will adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

3 On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul.

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

4 May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.

May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

5 And let them sing in accordance with 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 the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.

For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

7 If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.

If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

8 The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.

The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
