138
 By David. 
 1 I will give you thanks with all my heart; 
before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you. 
 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  When I cried out for help, you answered me. 
You made me bold and energized me. 
 4  Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O Lord, 
when they hear the words you speak. 
 5  Let them sing about the Lord’s deeds, 
for the Lord’s splendor is magnificent. 
 6  Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly, 
and recognizes the proud from far away. 
 7  Even when I must walk in the midst of danger, you revive me. 
You oppose my angry enemies, 
and your right hand delivers me. 
 8  The Lord avenges me. 
O Lord, your loyal love endures. 
Do not abandon those whom you have made!
