By David.
138:1 I will give you thanks with all my heart;
before the heavenly assembly 2 I will sing praises to you.
138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your name,
because of your loyal love and faithfulness,
for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky. 3
138:3 When 4 I cried out for help, you answered me.
You made me bold and energized me. 5
138:4 Let all the kings of the earth give thanks 6 to you, O Lord,
when they hear the words you speak. 7
138:5 Let them sing about the Lord’s deeds, 8
for the Lord’s splendor is magnificent. 9
138:6 Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly,
and recognizes the proud from far away.
