Read Psalms 136-138

 

Psalm 138 (Good News Translation)

¹ I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I sing praise to you before the gods.
² I face your holy Temple,
    bow down, and praise your name
because of your constant love and faithfulness,
    because you have shown that your name and

your commands are supreme.
³ You answered me when I called to you;
    with your strength you strengthened me.

⁴All the kings in the world will praise you, Lord,

because they have heard your promises.

⁵They will sing about what you have done

and about your glory.

⁶Even though you are so high above,

you care for the lowly,

and the proud cannot hide from you.

⁷When I am surrounded by troubles,

you keep me safe.

You oppose my angry enemies

and save me by your power.

⁸You will do everything you have promised;

Lord, your love is eternal.

Complete the work that you have begun.
