Psalm 138
I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, with my whole heart: even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
I will worship toward thy holy temple and praise thy Name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; for thou hast magnified thy Name and thy word above all things.
When I called upon thee, thou heardest me, and enduedst my soul with much strength.
ALL the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD; for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.
For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar off.
THOUGH I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me: thou shalt stretch forth thy hand upon the fury of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
The LORD shall fulfil his purpose toward me: Yea, thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not then the works of thine own hands.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
