Psalms 138:2


Psalms 138:1 Psalms 138:2 (KJV) Psalms 138:3
[A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and] strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul.
