Psalm 138: Wholehearted Praise and Steadfast Mercy

This script presents Psalm 138, a Psalm of David, in which David praises the Lord with his whole heart, singing before the gods and worshiping toward God’s holy temple. He thanks God for lovingkindness and truth, declaring that God has magnified his word above all his name, and recalls how God answered his cry and strengthened his soul. David foretells that all the kings of the earth will praise the Lord when they hear his words and will sing in his ways because of the Lord’s great glory.

Psalm 138 - A Psalm of David

I will praise thee with my
whole heart: before the gods

will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple,
and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness

and for thy truth: for thou hast
magnified thy word above all thy name.

the day when I cried thou
answeredst me, and strengthenedst

me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth shall
praise thee, O Lord, when they

hear the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the
Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

Though the Lord be high, yet hath
he respect unto the lowly: but

the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch

forth thine hand against the wrath of mine
enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The Lord will perfect that which
concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord,

endureth for ever: forsake not
the works of thine own hands.
