Psalm 138

1 Dauid with great courage praiſeth the goodnes of God toward him, the which is ſo great, 4 That it is knowen to forren princes, who ſhal praiſe the Lord together with him 6 And he is aſſured to haue like comfort of God in the time following, as he hathe had heretofore.
1.I Wil praiſe thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods wil I praiſe thee.
2.I wil worſhip toward thine holie Temple and praiſe thy Name, becauſe of thy louing kindenes and for thy trueth: for thou haſt magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy worde.
3.When I called, then thou heardeſt me, & haſt increaſed ſtrength in my ſoule.
4.All the Kings of the earth ſhal praiſe thee, ô Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.
5.And thei ſhal ſing of the waies of the Lord, becauſe the glorie of the Lord is great.
6.For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowely, but the proude he knoweth a farre of.
7.Thogh I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt ſtretch forthe, thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand ſhal ſaue me.
8.The Lord wil performe his worke toward me: ô Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forſake not the workes of thine hands.
