138:1 Of David. I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.

138:2 I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

138:3 When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.

138:4 All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.

138:5 They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

138:6 Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

138:7 Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.
