I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
Psalm 138: This psalm of thanksgiving begins with individual praise (vv.1-3), but looks forward to universal praise (vv.4-6). The praise offered to God does not change the contemporary troubles, but the psalmist does expect deliverance from them (vv.7, 8).
**We must praise God through out trials and tribulations. We are to possess a spirit of expectation. We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus and therefore we are to praise God in our present situation and continue in praise for that which is yet to come.
We welcome you to post your praise reports.
