Psalm 138

1 By David. I will give you thanks with all my heart; before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, because of your loyal love and faithfulness, for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky.

3 When I cried out for help, you answered me. You made me bold and energized me.

4 Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O Lord, when they hear the words you speak.

5 Let them sing about the Lord’s deeds, for the Lord’s splendor is magnificent.

6 Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly, and recognizes the proud from far away.

7 Even when I must walk in the midst of danger, you revive me. You oppose my angry enemies, and your right hand delivers me.

8 The Lord avenges me. O Lord, your loyal love endures. Do not abandon those whom you have made!
