Psalms 138
1 I will give you thanks with all my heart; I will sing your praise before the heavenly beings.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your constant love and truth. You have exalted your name and your promise above everything else.
3 On the day I called, you answered me; you increased strength within me.
4 All the kings on earth will give you thanks, LORD, when they hear what you have promised.
5 They will sing of the LORD's ways, for the LORD's glory is great.
6 Though the LORD is exalted, he takes note of the humble; but he knows the haughty from a distance.
7 If I walk into the thick of danger, you will preserve my life from the anger of my enemies. You will extend your hand; your right hand will save me.
8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me. LORD, your faithful love endures forever; do not abandon the work of your hands.
Summary: Praise for God's Faithfulness
David praises God wholeheartedly, for though the LORD is exalted He looks kindly on the lowly and fulfills His purpose.
