Psalm 138
By David. 
 1 I will give thanks to you with all my heart. 
I will make music to praise you in front of the false gods. 
 2 I will bow toward your holy temple. 
I will give thanks to your name because of your mercy and truth. 
You have made your name and your promise greater than everything. 
 3 When I called, you answered me. 
You made me bold by strengthening my soul. 
 4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to you, O Lord, 
because they have heard the promises you spoke. 
 5 They will sing this about the ways of the Lord: 
“The Lord’s honor is great!” 
 6 Even though the Lord is high above, he sees humble people ⌞close up⌟, 
and he recognizes arrogant people from a distance. 
 7 Even though I walk into the middle of trouble, 
you guard my life against the anger of my enemies. 
You stretch out your hand, 
and your right hand saves me. 
 8 The Lord will do everything for me. 
O Lord, your mercy endures forever. 
Do not let go of what your hands have made.
