Psalm 138 | Liturgical Calendar

1

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *

before the gods I will sing your praise.

2

I will bow down toward your holy temple

and praise your Name, *

because of your love and faithfulness;

3

For you have glorified your Name *

and your word above all things.

4

When I called, you answered me; *

you increased my strength within me.

5

All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord, *

when they have heard the words of your mouth.

6

They will sing of the ways of the Lord, *

that great is the glory of the Lord.

7

Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; *

he perceives the haughty from afar.

8

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; *

you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies;

your right hand shall save me.

9

The Lord will make good his purpose for me; *

O Lord, your love endures for ever;

do not abandon the works of your hands.
