Psalms 138:4

Praise and worshipWitness and mission

2 I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

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.
