CXXXVIII THANKSGIVING FOR JEHOVAH’S FAVOR
A Psalm of David.
［1］ I WILL give thee thanks with my whole heart:
Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
［2］ I will worship toward thy holy temple,
And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:
For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
［3］ In the day that I called thou answeredst me,
Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
［4］ All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah,
For they have heard the words of thy mouth.
［5］ Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah;
For great is the glory of Jehovah.
［6］ For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly;
But the haughty he knoweth from afar.
［7］ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me;
Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies,
And thy right hand will save me.
［8］ Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me:
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;
Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
