Psalms 138

Chapter 138 of 150

1 Hymn of a Grateful Heart. Of David. I thank you, Lord, with all my heart; in the presence of the angels to you I sing. 2 I 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. 3 On the day I cried out, you answered; you strengthened my spirit. 4 All the kings of earth will praise you, Lord, when they hear the words of your mouth. 5 They will sing of the ways of the Lord: “How great is the glory of the Lord!” 6 The Lord is on high, but cares for the lowly and knows the proud from afar. 7 Though 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. 8 The Lord is with me to the end. Lord, your mercy endures forever. Never forsake the work of your hands!
