Psalms 138

Hymn of a Grateful Heart
1Of David.
I
I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;#Ps 9:1.
in the presence of the angels#In the presence of the angels: heavenly beings who were completely subordinate to Israel’s God. The earthly Temple represents the heavenly palace of God. to you I sing.
2I bow low toward your holy temple;
I praise your name for your mercy and faithfulness.
For you have exalted over all
your name and your promise.
3On the day I cried out, you answered;
you strengthened my spirit.
II
4All the kings of earth will praise you, Lord,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5They will sing of the ways of the Lord:
“How great is the glory of the Lord!”
6The Lord is on high, but cares for the lowly#Lk 1:51–52.
and knows the proud from afar.
7Though I walk in the midst of dangers,
you guard my life when my enemies rage.
You stretch out your hand;
your right hand saves me.
8The Lord is with me to the end.
Lord, your mercy endures forever.
Never forsake the work of your hands!
