138
A Psalm of David. 
 1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: 
Before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 
 2 I will worship towards thy holy temple, 
And praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: 
For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 
 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, 
And strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 
 4 All 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 great is the glory of the Lord. 
 6 Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: 
But the proud he knoweth afar off. 
 7 Though I walk in the midst of 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 Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: 
Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: 
Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
