Psalm 138

A THANKFUL HEART

Of David.

I will give you thanks with all my heart;ab

I will sing your praise before the heavenly beings.B,ac

I will bow down toward your holy temple

and give thanks to your name

for your constant love and truth.

You have exalted your name

and your promise above everything else.A,a

On the day I called, you answered me;

you increased strength within me.B,b

All the kings on earth will give you thanks, Lord,

when they hear what you have promised.C,c

They will sing of the Lord’s ways,

for the Lord’s glory is great.d

Though the Lord is exalted,

he takes note of the humble;

but he knows the haughty from a distance.e

If I walk into the thick of danger,

you will preserve my life

from the anger of my enemies.f

You will extend your hand;

your right hand will save me.g

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.h

Lord, your faithful love endures forever;

do not abandon the work of your hands.i

About Christian Standard Bible

The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others.

The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today.

The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths.

The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible.
