Psalm 138

¹ With all my heart, I’ll thee confess:

thee praise the gods before.

² The temple of thine holiness

towards it I’ll adore:

also I will confess thy name,

for thy truth and mercy:

because thou over all thy name

thy word dost magnify.

³ In that same day that I did cry,

thou didst me answer make:

thou strengthen’dst me with strength, which I

within my soul did take.

⁴ O Lord, when thy mouth’s words they hear

all earth’s kings shall thee praise.

⁵ And for the Lord’s great glory, there

they shall sing in His ways.

⁶ Albeit that the Lord be high,

yet he respects the low:

but as for them that are lofty

he them far off doth know.

⁷ Though I in midst of trouble go,

thee quick’ning me I have:

thy hand thou wilt cast on my foe,

thy right hand shall me save.
