PSALME 138. (Book 138)

A Prayer and a thankesgiving for Gods mercies.

I Will give thankes unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy loving kindnesse and truth: for thou hast magnified thy name and thy word above all things.

3 When I called upon thee, thou heardest me: and enduedst my soule with much strength.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing in the wayes of the Lord: that great is the glory of the Lord.

6 For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: as for the proud, he be∣holdeth them afarre off.

7 Though I walke in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand upon the furiousnesse of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 The Lord shall make good his loving kind∣nesse toward me: yea, thy mercy, O Lord, endu∣reth for ever, despise not then the workes of thine owne hands.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, who hast magnified thy Name and Word above all things, make good thy loving kindnesses towards us, and endue our soules with much strength, that thine hand being stretch∣ed forth upon the furiousnesse of all our ghostly enemies, and we being saved by thy right hand, may praise thee, and all thy glories, serving thee here with a lowly minde, and a great industry, that at last we may worship thee in thy holy Tem∣ple, in the midst of all the Myriads of Angels, where thy glory is great and farre exalted above all gods. Grant this for Jesus Christ his sake our Lord and onely Saviour. Amen.
