Psalms 138

1 A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

Of David. I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.

2 I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

3 When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.

4 All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.

5 And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

7 Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue me.

Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.

8 The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.

The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands.
