Psalm 138

By David.

1 I will give thanks to you with all my heart.

I will make music to praise you in front of the false gods.

2 I will bow toward your holy temple.

I will give thanks to your name because of your mercy and truth.

You have made your name and your promise greater than everything.

3 When I called, you answered me.

You made me bold by strengthening my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to you, O Lord,

because they have heard the promises you spoke.

5 They will sing this about the ways of the Lord:

“The Lord’s honor is great!”

6 Even though the Lord is high above, he sees humble people ⸤close up⸥,

and he recognizes arrogant people from a distance.

7 Even though I walk into the middle of trouble,

you guard my life against the anger of my enemies.

You stretch out your hand,

and your right hand saves me.

8 The Lord will do everything for me.

O Lord, your mercy endures forever.

Do not let go of what your hands have made.
