138:1  I will give You thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to You before the gods.

138:2  I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name.

138:3  On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.

138:4  All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O LORD, When they have heard the words of Your mouth.

138:5  And they will sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD.

138:6  For though the LORD is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar.

138:7  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.

138:8  The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
