The Psalms

Psalm 138

A Psalm of David.

 ^138:1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart:

 Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

 ^138:2I will worship toward thy holy temple,

 And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:

 For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

 ^138:3In the day that I called thou answeredst me,

 Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

 ^138:4All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah,

 For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

 ^138:5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah;

 For great is the glory of Jehovah.

 ^138:6For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly;

 But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

 ^138:7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me;

 Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies,

 And thy right hand will save me.

 ^138:8Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me:

 Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;

 Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
