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.

PSALM 138
A Psalm of David.
1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee. 2I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate 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 called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. 4All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth; 5And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.
6For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off. 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
