Psalm 138:1-8

 

Of David.
¹ I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
   before the gods I sing your praise;
² I bow down towards your holy temple
   and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness;
   for you have exalted your name and your word
   above everything.
³ On the day I called, you answered me,
   you increased my strength of soul.

⁴ All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord,
   for they have heard the words of your mouth.
⁵ They shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
   for great is the glory of the Lord.
⁶ For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly;
   but the haughty he perceives from far away.

⁷ Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
   you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand,
   and your right hand delivers me.
⁸ The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me;
   your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.
   Do not forsake the work of your hands.
