Psalm 138

The Lord’s Goodness to the Faithful

A Psalm of David.

1 I will praise You with my whole heart;

aBefore the gods I will sing praises to You.

2 bI will worship ctoward Your holy temple,

And praise Your name

For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;

For You have dmagnified 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 eAll 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 fThough the Lord is on high,

Yet gHe regards the lowly;

But the proud He knows from afar.

7 hThough 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 iThe Lord will 1perfect that which concerns me;

Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;

jDo not forsake the works of Your hands.
