Psalm 138

Psalm 138

A psalm of David.

¹Lord, I will praise you with all my heart.

In front of those who think they are gods

I will sing praise to you.

²I will bow down facing your holy temple.

I will praise your name,

because you are loving and faithful.

You have honored your name and your word

more than anything else.

³When I called out to you, you answered me.

You made me strong and brave.

⁴Lord, may all of the kings on earth praise you

when they hear about what you have promised.

⁵Lord, may they sing about what you have done,

because your glory is great.

⁶The Lord is in heaven. But he watches over those who are free of pride.

He knows those who are proud and stays far away from them.

⁷Trouble is all around me,

but you keep me alive.

You reach out your hand to put a stop to the anger of my enemies.

With your powerful right hand you save me.

⁸Lord, you will do everything you have planned for me.

Lord, your faithful love continues forever.

You have done so much for us. Don’t stop now.
