Psalms 138
1. <<A Psalm of David.>> I will praise * thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise * unto thee.
2. I will worship * toward thy holy temple, and praise * thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified * thy word above all thy name.
3. In the day when I cried * thou answeredst * me, and strengthenedst * me with strength in my soul.
4. All the kings of the earth shall praise * thee, O LORD, when they hear * the words of thy mouth.
5. Yea, they shall sing * in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6. Though the LORD be high * , yet hath he respect * unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth * 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.
8. The LORD will perfect * that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake * not the works of thine own hands.
