PSALM 138
The LORD’s Goodness to the Faithful
A Psalm of David.
1 I will praise You with my whole heart;
​​Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
2 ​​I will worship toward Your holy temple,
​​And praise Your name
​​For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
​​For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
3 ​​In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
​​And made me bold with strength in my soul.
​
4 ​​All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD,
​​When they hear the words of Your mouth.
5 ​​Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD,
​​For great is the glory of the LORD.
6 ​​Though the LORD is on high,
​​Yet He regards the lowly;
​​But the proud He knows from afar.
​
7 ​​Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
​​You will stretch out Your hand
​​Against the wrath of my enemies,
​​And Your right hand will save me.
8 ​​The LORD will perfect that which concerns me;
​​Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever;
​​Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
