Psalm 138

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 138

1I give You thanks with all my heart;
before the gods I sing Your praises.
2I bow down toward Your holy temple
and give thanks to Your name
for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness;
You have exalted Your name
and Your word above all else.
3On the day I called, You answered me;
You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.
4All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD,
when they hear the words of Your mouth.
5They will sing of the ways of the LORD,
for the glory of the LORD is great.
6Though the LORD is on high,
He attends to the lowly;
but the proud He knows from afar.
7If I walk in the midst of trouble,
You preserve me from the anger of my foes;
You extend Your hand,
and Your right hand saves me.
8The LORD will fulfill
His purpose for me.
O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever —
do not abandon the works of Your hands.
— Psalm 138
