Psalm 138
Thanksgiving for the
LORD's Favor |
|
1 |
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 loving-kindness 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. |
