Psalm 138

Psalm CXXXVIII.

A Psalm of David.

I will praise thee with my whole heart:

^aBefore the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

²I will worship ^btowards ^cthy holy temple,

And praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:

For thou hast ^dmagnified ^ethy word above all thy name.

³In the day when I cried thou answeredst me,

And ^fstrengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

^4gAll the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord,

When they hear the words of thy mouth.

⁵Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord:

For great is the glory of the Lord.

^6hThough the Lord be high, yet ^hihath he respect unto the lowly:

But ⁱthe proud he knoweth afar off.

^7kThough I walk in the midst of trouble, ^lthou wilt revive me:

Thou shalt ^mstretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies,

And thy right hand shall save me.

⁸The Lord will ⁿperfect that which concerneth me:

^oThy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever:

Forsake not ^pthe works of thine own hands.
