Psalm 138
138
Thanksgiving for the Lord's Favor
A Psalm of David.
1I will praise thee with my whole heart:
before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2I will worship toward thy holy temple,
and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth:
for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3In the day when I cried thou answeredst me,
and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord,
when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord:
for great is the glory of the Lord.
6Though the Lord be high,
yet hath he respect unto the lowly:
but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7Though 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.
8The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever:
forsake not the works of thine own hands.

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.
