Psalms 138

1David praiseth God for the truth of his word: 4he prophesieth that the kings of the earth shall praise God for his respect unto the lowly: 7he professeth his confidence in God.


0 A Psalm of David.

    1 I WILL apraise thee with my whole heart: bbefore the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

    2 I cwill *worship toward thy holy temple, and dpraise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for ethou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

    3 In fthe day when I cried thou answeredst me, and gstrengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

    4 hAll the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

    5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for igreat is the glory of the LORD.

    6 jThough the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but kthe proud he knoweth afar off.

    7 Though I walk in the midst lof trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

    8 The mLORD will perfect that which concerneth me: nthy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: oforsake not pthe works of thine own hands.
