Psalm 138

1I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise, 2and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all. 3When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me. 4All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O , Lordwhen they shall have heard the words you have uttered; 5and they shall sing of the ways of the , Lordand tell of the ’s transcendent Lordglory. 6For, high though the Lordis, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away. 7Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.
