138Psalms

A Psalm of David.  
1 I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing thy praise;

I thank You O Lord. Psalm 138(v137)
2 I bow down toward thy holy temple
and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word.

 
3 On the day I called, thou didst answer me,
my strength of soul thou didst increase.

 
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD,
for they have heard the words of thy mouth;

 
5 and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD,
for great is the glory of the LORD.

 
6 For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly;
but the haughty he knows from afar.

 
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou dost preserve my life;
thou dost stretch out thy hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and thy right hand delivers me.

 
8 The LORD will fulfil his purpose for me;
thy steadfast love, O LORD, endures for ever.
Do not forsake the work of thy hands.
