Psalm 138
1
I WILL praise You with my whole heart;
a Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
2
b I will worship c toward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have d magnified Your word above all Your name.
3
In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul.
4
e All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD,
When they hear the words of Your mouth.
5
Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD,
For great is the glory of the LORD.
6
f Though the LORD is on high,
Yet g He regards the lowly;
But the proud He knows from afar.
7
h Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
You will stretch out Your hand
Against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
8
i The LORD will perfect that which concerns me;
Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever;
j Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
