Psalm 138:1-8

Thank God for who he is

1 I will thank you, Lord with all that I am.

I will sing and praise you in front of the gods.

2 I look towards your holy temple,

and I bend down to worship you.

I thank you for who you are.

You love your people with a faithful love

and they can always trust you.

You are more famous than anyone,

because you always do what you promise.

3 When I prayed to you, you answered me.

You made me brave and strong.

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

when they hear the promises that you have made.

5 They will sing about the things that you have done,

because they see that you are great, Lord.

6 Yes, the Lord is high above the earth,

but he takes care of humble people.

He also knows what proud people are doing,

even if they are far away.

7 When there is danger all around me,

you help me to be strong.

When my enemy is angry,

you fight against him.

You save me with your strong right hand.

8 The Lord will do what he has promised for me.

Yes, Lord, your faithful love will always continue.

You have made us who we are,

so do not leave us now!
