Psalms 138
David praises God with his whole heart, worshiping in the temple and acknowledging God's lovingkindness and truth. He thanks God for answering his cry and strengthening him in his time of need. David expresses confidence that God will perfect all that concerns him and that His mercy endures forever.
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
