The Bible
Psalm 138
By David.
1I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods
2I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
3In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, ForeverOne
5Yes, they will sing of the ways of ForeverOne
6For though ForeverOne
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8ForeverOne
