Psalm 138
David praises God for the truth of His word.


A Psalm of David.


1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee[1].

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple[2], and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word[3] above all thy name.

3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst[4] me with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly[5]: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me[6]: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me[7]: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
