Psalm 138

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