| 138:1 | I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. |
| 138:2 | 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. |
| 138:3 | In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. |
| 138:4 | All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. |
| 138:5 | Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. |
| 138:6 | Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. |
| 138:7 | 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. |
| 138:8 | The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. |
