Psalm 138
from The Book of Psalms for Singing

With all my heart my thanks I'll bring,

Before the gods Thy praises sing;
I'll worship in Thy holy place

And praise Thy name for truth and grace;
For Thou above Thy name adored

Hast magnified Thy faithful word.
The day I called Thy help appeared;

With inward strength my soul was cheered.
All kings of earth shall thanks accord

When they have heard Thy words, O LORD;
Jehovah's ways they'll celebrate;

The glory of the LORD is great.
Through trouble though my pathway be,

Thou wilt revive and comfort me.
Thine outstretched hand Thou wilt oppose

Against the wrath of all my foes.
Thy hand, O LORD, shall set me free

And perfect what concerneth me;
Thy mercy, LORD, forever stands;

Leave not the work of Thine own hands.

Psalm 138
A Psalm of David.
I will praise thee with my whole heart:
before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
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.
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me,
and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD,
when they hear the words of thy mouth.
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD:
for great is the glory of the LORD.
Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly:
but the proud he knoweth afar off.
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.
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
