Psalm 138
138
Give Thanks to the Lord
Of David.
1 #
Ps. 111:1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before #Ps. 95:3; 96:5the gods I sing your praise;
2I bow down #Ps. 28:2; 1 Kgs. 8:29 toward your #Ps. 5:7holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.#138:2 Or you have exalted your word above all your name
3On the day I called, you answered me;
my strength of soul you increased.#138:3 Hebrew you made me bold in my soul with strength
4 # See Ps. 102:15 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5and they shall sing of #Ps. 103:7the ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 # [Ps. 131:1; Prov. 3:34; Luke 1:48; James 4:6]; See Ps. 113:5, 6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
but the haughty he knows from afar.
7 # [Ps. 23:4] Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you #See Ps. 71:20 preserve my life;
you #[1 Sam. 24:6; Job 1:12] stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and your #Ps. 60:5right hand delivers me.
8The Lord will #Ps. 57:2; [Phil. 1:6] fulfill his purpose for me;
#
Ps. 136:1; See 1 Chr. 16:41 your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake #See Ps. 100:3the work of your hands.

Psalms 138
138
A song of David.
1Lord, I praise you with all my heart.
I sing songs of praise to you before the gods.
2I bow down toward your holy Temple,
and I praise your name for your love and loyalty.
You are famous,
and doing what you promised will make you even more famous!
3When I called to you for help,
you answered me and gave me strength.
4Lord, all the kings on earth will praise you
when they hear what you say.
5They will sing about what the Lord has done,
because the glory of the Lord is very great.
6The Lord has the highest place above all others,
but he still cares for the humble.
Even from there, so high above,
he knows what the proud do.
7If I am in trouble, you keep me alive.
If my enemies are angry, you save me from them.
8Lord, I know you will do what you have promised.
Lord, your faithful love will last forever.
You are the one who made us, so don’t leave us!
