138:1 A Psalm of David. I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart;before the gods I sing thy praise; 138:2 I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness;for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word. 138:3 On the day I called, thou didst answer me, my strength of soul thou didst increase. 138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth; 138:5 and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. 138:6 For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly;but the haughty he knows from afar. 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou dost preserve my life;thou dost stretch out thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand delivers me. 138:8 The LORD will fulfil his purpose for me;thy steadfast love, O LORD, endures for ever. Do not forsake the work of thy hands.
