Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 138
1[A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before thegods will I sing psalms of thee. 2I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. 4All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth; 5And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah. 6For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off. 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
