# Chapter 138
|
||
1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart;
|
||
I will sing your praises before the gods.
|
||
2 I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.
|
||
I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness;
|
||
for your promises are backed
|
||
by all the honor of your name.
|
||
3 As soon as I pray, you answer me;
|
||
you encourage me by giving me strength.
|
||
4 Every king in all the earth will thank you, Lord,
|
||
for all of them will hear your words.
|
||
5 Yes, they will sing about the Lord’s ways,
|
||
for the glory of the Lord is very great.
|
||
6 Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble,
|
||
but he keeps his distance from the proud.
|
||
7 Though I am surrounded by troubles,
|
||
you will protect me from the anger of my enemies.
|
||
You reach out your hand,
|
||
and the power of your right hand saves me.
|
||
8 The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
|
||
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
|
||
Don’t abandon me, for you made me. |
