Psalm 138 1 I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with mywhole heart; before the gods I will sing your praise. 2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your Name, because of your love and faithfulness; 3 For you have glorified your Name and your word above all things. 4 When I called, you answered me; you increased my strength within me. 5 All the kings of the earth will praise you,O LORD, when they have heard the words of your mouth. 6 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, that great is the glory of the LORD. 7 Though the LORD be high, he cares for thelowly; he perceives the haughty from afar. 8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, youkeep me safe; you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me. 9 The LORD will make good his purpose for me;* O LORD, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.
