Psalm 138

A Hymn of Thanksgiving

A psalm of David.

138Lord, I will thank you with all my heart;

I will sing to you before the gods.

²I will bow down facing your holy Temple,

and I will thank you for your love and loyalty.

You have made your name and your word

greater than anything.

³On the day I called to you, you answered me.

You made me strong and brave.

⁴Lord, let all the kings of the earth praise you

when they hear the words you speak.

⁵They will sing about what the Lord has done,

because the Lord’s glory is great.

⁶Though the Lord is supreme,

he takes care of those who are humble,

but he stays away from the proud.

⁷Lord, even when I have trouble all around me,

you will keep me alive.

When my enemies are angry,

you will reach down and save me by your power.

⁸Lord, you do everything for me.

Lord, your love continues forever.

Do not leave us, whom you made.
