Psalm 138

Thanksgiving and Praise

Of David.

1 I give you thanks, O Lord,[a] with my whole heart;
    before the gods I sing your praise;(A)
2 I bow down toward your holy temple
    and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
    for you have exalted your name and your word
    above everything.[b](B)
3 On the day I called, you answered me;
    you increased my strength of soul.[c](C)

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord,
    for they have heard the words of your mouth.(D)
5 They shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
    for great is the glory of the Lord.
