PSALM 138
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1Thee will I praise with all my heart,
I will sing praise to thee
2Before the gods: And worship will
toward thy sanctuary.
I'll praise thy name, ev'n for thy truth,
and kindness of thy love;
For thou thy word hast magnify'd
all thy great name above.
3Thou didst me answer in the day
when I to thee did cry;
And thou my fainting soul with strength
didst strengthen inwardly.
4All kings upon the earth that are
shall give thee praise, O Lord,
When as they from thy mouth shall hear
thy true and faithful word.
5Yea, in the righteous ways of God
with gladness they shall sing:
For great's the glory of the Lord;
who doth for ever reign.
6Though God be high, yet he respects
all those that lowly be;
Whereas the proud and lofty ones
afar off knoweth he.
7Though I in midst of trouble walk,
I life from thee shall have:
'Gainst my foes' wrath thou'lt stretch thine hand;
thy right hand shall me save.
8Surely that which concerneth me
the Lord will perfect make:
Lord, still thy mercy lasts; do not
thine own hands' works forsake.

Psalms 138
138
1A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee. 2I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word. 3When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule. 4All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth. 5And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great. 6For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off. 7Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue me. 8The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.
