Psalm 138: Wholehearted Praise and Steadfast Mercy

This script presents Psalm 138, a Psalm of David, in which David praises the Lord with his whole heart, singing before the gods and worshiping toward God’s holy temple. He thanks God for lovingkindness and truth, declaring that God has magnified his word above all his name, and recalls how God answered his cry and strengthened his soul. David foretells that all the kings of the earth will praise the Lord when they hear his words and will sing in his ways because of the Lord’s great glory. Though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly and keeps the proud at a distance. Even in trouble, David trusts God to revive him, protect him from enemies, and save him. He concludes with confidence that the Lord will perfect what concerns him, for God’s mercy endures forever.
