Psalms 138

   |   

Thanksgiving for the Lord's Favor.

A Psalm of David.

1 (a)I will give You thanks with all my heart;
I will sing praises to You before the (b)gods.
2 I will bow down (c)toward Your holy temple
And (d)give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your [a]truth;
For You have (e)magnified Your [b]word [c]according to all Your name.
3 On the day I (f)called, You answered me;
You made me bold with (g)strength in my soul.

4 (h)All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O Lord,
When they have heard the words of Your mouth.
5 And they will (i)sing of the ways of the Lord,
For (j)great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For (k)though the Lord is exalted,
Yet He (l)regards the lowly,
But the (m)haughty He knows from afar.

7 Though I (n)walk in the midst of trouble, You will [d](o)revive me;
You will (p)stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will (q)save me.
8 The Lord will (r)accomplish what concerns me;
Your (s)lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting;
(t)Do not forsake the (u)works of Your hands.
