Psalms 138:1 in context

Psalms 138:1–4

Selected verse

I will give you thanks with my whole heart.

Before the gods,^† I will sing praises to you.

I will bow down toward your holy temple,

and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth;

for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

In the day that I called, you answered me.

You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD,

for they have heard the words of your mouth.
