Psalm 138
By David. 
  1 I will give thanks to you with all my heart.  
I will make music to praise you in front of the false gods.   
 2 I will bow toward your holy temple.  
I will give thanks to your name because of your mercy and truth.  
You have made your name and your promise greater than everything.   
 3 When I called, you answered me.  
You made me bold by strengthening my soul.   
 4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to you, O Lord,  
because they have heard the promises you spoke.   
 5 They will sing this about the ways of the Lord:  
“The Lord’s honor is great!”   
 6 Even though the Lord is high above, he sees humble people ⌞close up⌟,  
and he recognizes arrogant people from a distance.   
 7 Even though I walk into the middle of trouble,  
you guard my life against the anger of my enemies.  
You stretch out your hand,  
and your right hand saves me.   
 8 The Lord will do everything for me.  
O Lord, your mercy endures forever.  
Do not let go of what your hands have made.
