PSALM 138 - Thank You - a reading from Eugene H. Peterson's the MESSAGE.

Psalm 138 The Message (MSG) A David Psalm
138:1 Thank you!
Everything in me says “Thank you!”
Angels listen as I sing my thanks.

2 I kneel in worship facing your holy temple
and say it again: “Thank you!”
Thank you for your love,
thank you for your faithfulness;
Most holy is your name,
most holy is your Word.

3 The moment I called out, you stepped in;
you made my life large with strength.

4 When they hear what you have to say, GOD,
all earth’s kings will say “Thank you.”

5 They’ll sing of what you’ve done:
“How great the glory of GOD!”

6 And here’s why: GOD, high above, sees far below;
no matter the distance, he knows everything about us.

7 When I walk into the thick of trouble,
keep me alive in the angry turmoil.
With one hand
strike my foes,
With your other hand
save me.

8 Finish what you started in me, GOD.
Your love is eternal - don’t quit on me now.
