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
A Hymn of Thanksgiving
A song of David.
1Lord, I will thank you with all my heart.
I will sing to you before the false gods.
2I will bow down facing your holy Temple.
And I will thank you for your love and loyalty.
You have made your name and your word
greater than anything.
3On the day I called to you, you answered me.
You made me strong and brave.
4Lord, let all the kings of the earth praise you.
They have heard the words you speak.
5They will sing about what the Lord has done
because the Lord’s glory is great.
6Though the Lord is supreme
he takes care of those who are not proud.
But he stays away from those who are proud.
7Lord, even when I have trouble all around me,
you will keep me alive.
When my enemies are angry,
you will reach down and save me by your power.
8Lord, you do everything for me.
Lord, your love continues forever.
You made us. Do not leave us.
