Psalms 138

   |   

(By David.)

Praise the Lord with All Your Heart

1 With all my heart
    I praise you, Lord.
    In the presence of angels[a]
    I sing your praises.
2 I worship at your holy temple
    and praise you for your love
    and your faithfulness.
You were true to your word
    and made yourself more famous
    than ever before.[b]
3 When I asked for your help,
    you answered my prayer
    and gave me courage.[c]

4 All kings on this earth
have heard your promises, Lord,
    and they will praise you.
5 You are so famous
that they will sing
    about the things you have done.
6 Though you are above us all,
    you care for humble people,
and you keep a close watch
    on everyone who is proud.

7 I am surrounded by trouble,
    but you protect me
    against my angry enemies.
With your own powerful arm
    you keep me safe.

8 You, Lord, will always
treat me with kindness.
    Your love never fails.
You have made us what we are.
    Don't give up on us now![d]
