Psalm
138
[Recommended tunes: Winchester, Lancaster, Stockton, St Asaph]
A
Psalm of David.
|
1Thee will I praise with
all my heart,
I will sing praise to
thee
2Before the gods: And
worship will
toward thy sanctuary.
|
|
I'll
praise thy name, ev'n for thy truth,
and kindness of thy
love;
For
thou thy word hast magnify'd
all thy great name
above.
|
|
3Thou didst me answer in
the day
when I to thee did cry;
And
thou my fainting soul with strength
didst strengthen
inwardly.
|
|
4All kings upon the earth
that are
shall give thee praise,
O Lord,
When
as they from thy mouth shall hear
thy true and faithful
word.
|
|
5Yea, in the righteous
ways of God
with gladness they shall
sing:
For
great's the glory of the Lord;
who doth for ever reign.
|
|
6Though God be high, yet
he respects
all those that lowly be;
Whereas
the proud and lofty ones
afar off knoweth he.
|
|
7Though I in midst of
trouble walk,
I life from thee shall
have:
'Gainst
my foes' wrath thou'lt stretch thine hand;
thy right hand shall me
save.
|
|
8Surely that which
concerneth me
the Lord will perfect
make:
Lord,
still thy mercy lasts; do not
thine own hands' works
forsake.
