Psalms 138

1Of David.I praise You with all my heart,sing a hymn to You before the divine beings;

2I bow toward Your holy templeand praise Your name for Your steadfast love and faithfulness,because You have exalted Your name, Your word, above all.

3When I called, You answered me,You inspired me with courage.

4All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O ETERNAL One,for they have heard the words You spoke.

5They shall sing of GOD’s ways,“Great is GOD’s majesty!”

6From way up high GOD sees the lowly;aloft, yet perceiving from afar.

7Though I walk among enemies,You preserve me in the face of my foes;You extend Your hand;with Your right hand You deliver me.

8GOD will settle accounts for me.O ETERNAL One, Your steadfast love is eternal;do not forsake the work of Your hands.
