Chapter 138
Psalms
Verse 1I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart;before the gods I sing your praise;Verse 2I bow down toward your holy templeand give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,for you have exalted above all thingsyour name and your word.Verse 3On the day I called, you answered me;my strength of soul you increased.Verse 4All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD,for they have heard the words of your mouth,Verse 5and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD,for great is the glory of the LORD.Verse 6For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly,but the haughty he knows from afar.Verse 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble,you preserve my life;you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,and your right hand delivers me.Verse 8The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever.Do not forsake the work of your hands.
