Psalm: 138 (Read Responsively)

 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;

    Before the gods I sing your praise;

On the day I called, you answered me;

    You increased my strength of soul.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord,

    For they have heard the words of your mouth.

They shall sing of the ways of the Lord,

    For great is the glory of the Lord.

For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,

    But the haughty he perceives from far away.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,

    You preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;

You stretch out your hand,

    And your right hand delivers me.
