Psalms 138

1 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:

A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

2 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.

I will worship towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

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

In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

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

Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

5 And let them sing in 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 high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

7 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.

Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

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

O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.
