138:1   I thank you, LORD, with all my heart; I sing praise to you before the gods.

138:2   I face your holy Temple, bow down, and praise your name because of your constant love and faithfulness, because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.

138:3   You answered me when I called to you; with your strength you strengthened me.

138:4   All the kings in the world will praise you, LORD, because they have heard your promises.

138:5   They will sing about what you have done and about your great glory.

138:6   Even though you are so high above, you care for the lowly, and the proud cannot hide from you.

138:7   When I am surrounded by troubles, you keep me safe. You oppose my angry enemies and save me by your power.

138:8   You will do everything you have promised; LORD, your love is eternal. Complete the work that you have begun.
