Psalms 138
1 Of David. I give you thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing praise to you.
2 I bow toward your holy temple. I give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, because you have exalted your promise above all your name.
3 On the day I called, you answered me; you gave me boldness and strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.
6 Though the LORD is exalted, he looks upon the lowly; but the arrogant he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me alive; against the anger of my enemies you stretch out your hand, and your right hand saves me.
8 The LORD will fulfill what concerns me. LORD, your steadfast love endures forever; do not abandon the work of your hands.
