Psalm 138 | birchwood-church

Warrington

1 I'll praise you, LORD, with all my heart;

Before the gods I'll sing your praise.

2 I'll bow towards your holy place

and bless your holy name always.

I'll praise you for your faithfulness

and for your cov'nant love, O LORD,

For over all things you have raised

Your holy name and faithful word.

3 The very day I called to you,

You gave an answer to my plea.

You made me bold within myself;

With new resolve you strengthened me.

4 O LORD, let all earth's king give praise,

when from your mouth they hear your word.

5 Let them extol the ways of God,

For great's the glory of the LORD.

6 Although the LORD God dwells on high,

The lowly person he protects,

Whereas the proud and haughty one

He knows afar off and rejects.

7 Although I walk a troubled path,

Your tender care preserves my life.

You raise your hand against my foes;

You right hand saves me from their strife.

8 The LORD will certainly fulfil

For me the purposes he commands.

Your love endures for ever, LORD;

Preserve the works of your own hands.
