:
Psalm 138 1 By David.
I will give you thanks with all my heart;
before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your name,
because of your loyal love and faithfulness,
for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky.
3 When I cried out for help, you answered me.
You made me bold and energized me.
4 Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O Lord,
when they hear the words you speak.
5 Let them sing about the Lord’s deeds,
for the Lord’s splendor is magnificent.
6 Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly,
and recognizes the proud from far away.
7 Even when I must walk in the midst of danger, you revive me.
You oppose my angry enemies,
and your right hand delivers me.
8 The Lord avenges me.
O Lord, your loyal love endures.
Do not abandon those whom you have made!
