Psalm 138

1 { a psalm of david } i will praise thee with my whole heart before the gods will i sing praise unto thee 2 i will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name 3 in the day when i cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst 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 but the proud he knoweth afar off 7 though i walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me 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 thy mercy, o lord, endureth for ever forsake not the works of thine own hands
