PSALMS

The One Hundred Thirty Eighth Psalm

Confitebor tibi.

---

I WILL give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; * even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
 
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.
 
When I called upon thee, thou heardest me; * and enduedst my soul with much strength.
 
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD; * for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
 
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, * that great is the glory of the LORD.
 
For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; * as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar off.
 
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.
 
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.
