Give Thanks
Psalm
138 (ESV)
I give you thanks, O Lord, with
my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow
down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your
steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.
All the kings of the earth shall give
you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth, and
they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of
the Lord. For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but
the haughty he knows from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of
trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against
the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.
The Lord will fulfill
his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not
forsake the work of your hands.
