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.
