Psalms 138:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
