138 With all my heart
    I praise you, Lord.
    In the presence of angels^[a]
    I sing your praises.
² I worship at your holy temple
    and praise you for your love
    and your faithfulness.
You were true to your word
    and made yourself more famous
    than ever before.^[b]
3 When I asked for your help,
    you answered my prayer
    and gave me courage.^[c]

⁶ Though you are above us all,
    you care for humble people,
and you keep a close watch
    on everyone who is proud.
