138:1 [Of
David.]
I
give
you
thanks,
O
LORD,
with
my
whole
heart;
before
the
gods
I
sing
your
praise;
138:2 I
bow
down
toward
your
holy
temple
and
give
thanks
to
your
name
for
your
steadfast
love
and
your
faithfulness,
for
you
have
exalted
above
all
things
your
name
and
your
word.
138:3 On
the
day
I
called,
you
answered
me;
my
strength
of
soul
you
increased.
138:4 All
the
kings
of
the
earth
shall
give
you
thanks,
O
LORD,
for
they
have
heard
the
words
of
your
mouth,
138:5 and
they
shall
sing
of
the
ways
of
the
LORD,
for
great
is
the
glory
of
the
LORD.
138:6 For
though
the
LORD
is
high,
he
regards
the
lowly,
but
the
haughty
he
knows
from
afar.
138:7 Though
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.
138:8 The
LORD
will
fulfill
his
purpose
for
me;
your
steadfast
love,
O
LORD,
endures
forever.
Do
not
forsake
the
work
of
your
hands.
