Psalm 138

A Psalm of David.

1I will praise thee with my whole heart:

Before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

2I will worship towards thy holy temple,

And praise thy name for thy lovingkindness 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.
