Psalm 138

1  A Psalm of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

2  I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

3  In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

4  All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

5  Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

6  Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

7  Though 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.

8  The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
