Psalms 138
138
Psalm 138
Of David.
1I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
before the “gods” I will sing your praise.
2I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,
for you have so exalted your solemn decree
that it surpasses your fame.
3When I called, you answered me;
you greatly emboldened me.
4May all the kings of the earth praise you, Lord,
when they hear what you have decreed.
5May they sing of the ways of the Lord,
for the glory of the Lord is great.
6Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly;
though lofty, he sees them from afar.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life.
You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes;
with your right hand you save me.
8The Lord will vindicate me;
your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.

Psalms 138
138
Psalm 138
By David.
1I will give thanks to you with all my heart.
I will make music to praise you in front of the false gods.
2I will bow toward your holy temple.
I will give thanks to your name because of your mercy and truth.
You have made your name and your promise greater than everything.
3When I called, you answered me.
You made me bold by strengthening my soul.
4All the kings of the earth will give thanks to you, O Lord,
because they have heard the promises you spoke.
5They will sing this about the ways of the Lord:
“The Lord’s honor is great!”
6Even though the Lord is high above, he sees humble people ⌞close up⌟,
and he recognizes arrogant people from a distance.
7Even though I walk into the middle of trouble,
you guard my life against the anger of my enemies.
You stretch out your hand,
and your right hand saves me.
8The Lord will do everything for me.
O Lord, your mercy endures forever.
Do not let go of what your hands have made.
