Psalms138

Psalm 138 is a psalm of David expressing wholehearted praise to the LORD for His lovingkindness and truth, and for magnifying His word. David recounts how God answered his prayer and strengthened him. He anticipates that all kings will eventually praise the LORD, who respects the lowly but knows the proud afar off, and whose mercy endures forever.
