Psalms 138

₁With all my heart

I praise you, LORD.

In the presence of angels

I sing your praises.

₂I worship at your holy temple

and praise you for your love

and your faithfulness.

You were true to your word

and made yourself more famous

than ever before.

₃When I asked for your help,

you answered my prayer

and gave me courage.

₄All kings on this earth

have heard your promises, LORD,

and they will praise you.

₅You are so famous

that they will sing about

the things you have done.

₆Though you are above us all,

you care for humble people,

and you keep a close watch

on everyone who is proud.

₇I am surrounded by trouble,

but you protect me

against my angry enemies.

With your own powerful arm

you keep me safe.

₈You, LORD, will always

treat me with kindness.

Your love never fails.

You have made us what we are.

Don't give up on us now!
