A Thankful Heart

1Of Dauid. I wyll geue thankes vnto thee O God with my whole heart: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thee before the gods.

2I wyll make my lowe obeysaunce towarde thy holy temple: and I wyll prayse thy holy name in respect of thy louing kindnesse and trueth. (138:3) For thou hast magnified thy name: and thy worde aboue all thinges.

3(138:4) In the day of myne aduersitie I called vpon thee, and thou heardest me: thou enduedst my soule more and more with strength.

4(138:5) All the kinges of the earth will prayse thee O God: for they haue hearde the wordes of thy mouth.

5(138:6) Yea they wyll sing of the wayes of God: for great is the glory of God.

6(138:7) For though God be on high: yet he will haue respect vnto the lowly, and he wyll knowe the proude a farre of.

7(138:8) If I shall walke in the midst of trouble, thou wylt make me to liue: thou wylt stretche foorth thyne hande vpon the furiousnes of mine enemies, and thy right hande shall saue me.

8(138:9) God wyll finishe that he hath begun by me: O God thy louing kindnesse endureth for euer, thou wylt not forsake the workes of thyne owne handes.
