¹I will give you thanks with my whole heart .

Before the gods, I will sing praises to you .

²I will bow down towards your holy temple ,

and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth;

for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all .

³In the day that I called , you answered me .

You encouraged me with strength in my soul .

⁴All the kings of the earth will give you thanks , LORD ,

for they have heard the words of your mouth .

⁵Yes , they will sing of the ways of the LORD ,

for the LORD ’s glory is great !

⁶For though the LORD is high , yet he looks after the lowly ;

but he knows the proud from afar .

⁷Though I walk in the middle of trouble , you will revive me .

You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies .

Your right hand will save me .

⁸The LORD will fulfil that which concerns me .

Your loving kindness , LORD , endures forever .

Don’t forsake the works of your own hands .
