138 I
will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise
unto thee. 2 I
will worship toward 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.
