Psalm 138
Confitebor tibi
1 I WILL give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart * even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy Name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth * for thou hast magnified thy Name and thy word above all things.
3 When I called upon thee, thou heardest me * and enduedst my soul with much strength.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord * for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord * that great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly * as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar off.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me * thou shalt stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 The lord shall make good his loving-kindness toward me * yea, thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever; despise not then the works of thine own hands.
