Chapter 138
1 I will give you thanks with my whole heart . Before the gods, I will sing praises to you .
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple , and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all .
3 In the day that I called , you answered me . You encouraged me with strength in my soul .
4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks , Yahweh , for they have heard the words of your mouth .
5 Yes , they will sing of the ways of Yahweh , for Yahweh ’s glory is great !
6 For though Yahweh is high , yet he looks after the lowly ; but he knows the proud from afar .
7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble , you will revive me . You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies . Your right hand will save me .
8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me . Your loving kindness , Yahweh , endures forever . Don’t forsake the works of your own hands .
