# Psalms 138 [[Psalms 137|←]] • [[Psalms 139|→]] --- of David. ### 1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. ### 2 I will worship toward 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, strengthenedst me 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 the glory of the Lord. ### 6 Though the Lord 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 concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
