Psalm 138

1. I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
   before the gods I sing your praise;
2. I bow down towards your holy temple
   and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness;
   for you have exalted your name and your word
   above everything.
3. On the day I called, you answered me,
   you increased my strength of soul.
4. All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord,
   for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5. 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 perceives from far away.
7. Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
   you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
   you stretch out your hand,
   and your right hand delivers me.
8. The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me;
   your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.
   Do not forsake the work of your hands.
