Ps. 138:1      Ps. 138:3

Psalms 138:2

I want to worship, facing your holy temple,
and thank [with open hands – praise, honor, and acknowledge] your name
for your mercy (caring love) and your truth.
[Throughout the Bible, mercy and truth are companions, see 2 Sam. 15:20; Prov 16:6; Ps. 85:11; John 1:14. The first time these words are mentioned together is in God's own testimony, see Ex. 34:6. Grace without truth becomes ineffective, while truth without grace becomes merciless. Both grace and truth are needed, and grace always comes first. For you have made your promise and your name greater than anything else! You have surpassed everything!]
