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.

Psalm 138
138
A Psalm of David.
1I will praise thee with my whole heart:
Before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2I 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.
3In the day when I cried thou answeredst me,
And strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD,
When they hear the words of thy mouth.
5Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD:
For great is the glory of the LORD.
6Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly:
But the proud he knoweth afar off.
7Though 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.
8The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
