Psalm 138

Easy-to-Read Version

A song of David.

138 Lord, I praise you with all my heart.
    I sing songs of praise to you before the gods.
²I bow down toward your holy Temple,
    and I praise your name for your love and loyalty.
You are famous,
    and doing what you promised will make you even more famous!
³When I called to you for help,
    you answered me and gave me strength.

⁴Lord, all the kings on earth will praise you
    when they hear what you say.
⁵They will sing about what the Lord has done,
    because the glory of the Lord is very great.
⁶The Lord has the highest place above all others,
    but he still cares for the humble.
Even from there, so high above,
    he knows what the proud do.
⁷If I am in trouble, you keep me alive.
    If my enemies are angry, you save me from them.
⁸Lord, I know you will do what you have promised.
    Lord, your faithful love will last forever.
    You are the one who made us, so don’t leave us!
