Psalm 138

Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor

1381 I will give You thanks with all my heart ; I will sing praises to You before the gods . 2 I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth ; For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name . 3 On the day I called , You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul . 4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O Lord , When they have heard the words of Your mouth . 5 And they will sing of the ways of the Lord , For great is the glory of the Lord .

6 For though the Lord is exalted , Yet He regards the lowly , But the haughty He knows from afar . 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble , You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies , And Your right hand will save me. 8 The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness , O Lord , is everlasting ; Do not forsake the works of Your hands .

Psalm 138

Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor

1381 I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods. 2 I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. 3 As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength. 4 Every king in all the earth will thank you, Lord, for all of them will hear your words. 5 Yes, they will sing about the Lord 's ways, for the glory of the Lord is very great.

6 Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud. 7 Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. 8 The Lord will work out his plans for my life- for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me.
