Psalm 138
Of David.
1
I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise.
2
I will bow down toward your holy temple and
will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
3
When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted.
4
May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5
May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.
6
Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.
7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.
8
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever -
do not abandon the works of your hands.
