Psalm 138. Confitebor tibi.

1. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *
   before the gods I will sing your praise.
2. I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your Name, *
   because of your love and faithfulness;
3. For you have glorified your Name *
   and your word above all things.
4. When I called, you answered me; *
   you increased my strength within me.
5. All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord, *
   when they have heard the words of your mouth.
6. They will sing of the ways of the Lord, *
   that great is the glory of the Lord.
7. Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; *
   he perceives the haughty from afar.
8. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; *
   you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me.
9. The Lord will make good his purpose for me; *
   O Lord, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.
