1 I will give you thanks with my whole heart.

Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

2 I will bow down toward 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.

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

You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

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

for they have heard the words of your mouth.

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

for the LORD’s glory is great!

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

but he knows the proud from afar.

7 Though 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.

8 The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me.

Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever.

Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
