Psalm 138

Melcombe

With all my heart I’ll praise you Lord;
Before the ‘gods’ I’ll sing and bless,
Your holy temple bow toward,
I’ll praise for love and faithfulness.

Your name and word you’ve made to be
Much greater far than everything.
When I cried out, you answered me;
You made me bold and strong within.

May all the kings of earth give praise,
Lord, when they hear you speak your word
And may they sing the Lord’s own ways:
For great the glory of the Lord.

Though God’s on high, the meek he knows
But views the proud from far away.
Although I walk amid such woes,
You guard my life, preserve my way.

Against my foes you stretch your hand,
By your right hand you me relieve.
God’s plans won’t fail; your love will stand,
Your hands’ own work, Lord, never leave.
