138
A Psalm of David. 
 1 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: 
Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee. 
 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, 
And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: 
For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 
 3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, 
Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. 
 4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, 
For they have heard the words of thy mouth. 
 5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; 
For great is the glory of Jehovah. 
 6 For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; 
But the haughty he knoweth from afar. 
 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; 
Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, 
And thy right hand will save me. 
 8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: 
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth forever; 
Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
