Psalms 138:1-8

¹The psalm of David. Lord, I shall acknowledge to thee in all mine heart; for thou heardest the words of my mouth. My God, I shall sing to thee in the sight of angels;

²I shall worship toward thine holy temple, and I shall acknowledge to thy name. On thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thine holy name above all things.

³In whatever day I shall inwardly call thee, hear thou me; thou shalt multiply virtue in my soul.

⁴Lord, all the kings of earth acknowl-edge to thee; for they heard all the words of thy mouth.

⁵And sing they in the ways of the Lord; for the glory of the Lord is great.

⁶For the Lord is high, and behold-eth meek things; and knoweth afar high things.

⁷If I shall go in the midst of tribu-lation, thou shalt quicken me; and thou stretchedest forth thine hand on the ire of mine enemies, and thy right hand made me safe.

⁸The Lord shall yield for me, Lord, thy mercy is without end; despise thou not the works of thine hands.
