Psalms 138
138
The Divine Presence
By King David
1I thank you, Lord, and with all the passion of my heart
I worship you in the presence of angels! # 138:1 Or “gods.” The Hebrew elohim is literally “mighty ones” and can refer to either angels or the gods of the heathen.
Heaven’s mighty ones will hear my voice
as I sing my loving praise to you.
2I bow down before your divine presence
and bring you my deepest worship
as I experience your tender love and your living truth.
For your Word and the fame of your name
have been magnified above all else! # 138:2 Or “You have exalted your Word above all your name.”
3At the very moment I called out to you, you answered me!
You strengthened me deep within my soul
and breathed fresh courage into me.
4One day all the kings of the earth
will rise to give you thanks when they hear the living words
that I have heard you speak.
5They too will sing of your wonderful ways,
for your ineffable glory is great!
6For though you are lofty and exalted,
you stoop to embrace the lowly.
Yet you keep your distance from those filled with pride.
7By your mighty power I can walk through any devastation,
and you will keep me alive, reviving me.
Your power set me free from the hatred of my enemies.
8You keep every promise you’ve ever made to me!
Since your love for me is constant and endless,
I ask you, Lord, to finish every good thing that you’ve begun in me!

A Prayer of Thanksgiving#Ps 138 Hebrew title: By David.
1I thank you, LORD, with all my heart;
I sing praise to you before the gods.
2I face your holy Temple,
bow down, and praise your name
because of your constant love and faithfulness,
because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.#138.2 Probable text your name and your commands are supreme; Hebrew your command is greater than all your name.
3You answered me when I called to you;
with your strength you strengthened me.
4All the kings in the world will praise you, LORD,
because they have heard your promises.
5They will sing about what you have done
and about your great glory.
6Even though you are so high above,
you care for the lowly,
and the proud cannot hide from you.
7When I am surrounded by troubles,
you keep me safe.
You oppose my angry enemies
and save me by your power.
8You will do everything you have promised;
LORD, your love is eternal.
Complete the work that you have begun.
