Psalm 138

New King James Version

The Lord’s Goodness to the Faithful

A Psalm of David.

138 I will praise You with my whole heart;
^(A)Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
²^(B)I will worship ^(C)toward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have ^(D)magnified Your word above all Your name.
³In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul.

⁴^(E)All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord,
When they hear the words of Your mouth.
⁵Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
For great is the glory of the Lord.
⁶^(F)Though the Lord is on high,
Yet ^(G)He regards the lowly;
But the proud He knows from afar.

⁷^(H)Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
You will stretch out Your hand
Against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
⁸^(I)The Lord will ^[a]perfect that which concerns me;
Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;
^(J)Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
