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.
