138
1 I will give you thanks with all my heart;
before the gods I will sing your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your truth, for you have exalted your word above 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 you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.
6 Though the LORD is high, he looks upon the lowly, but he knows the proud from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand saves me.
8 The LORD will complete what he does for me.
LORD, your steadfast love endures forever;
do not forsake the works of your hands.
