1 ¶ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods I will sing praises unto thee.

By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

2 I will worship the temple of thy holiness and praise thy name above thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast made thy name to be magnificent and raised up thy spoken word above all things.

I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

3 I n the day when I called, thou didst answer me and strengthen me with strength in my soul.

In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul strength.

4 A ll the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hearken unto the spoken words from thy mouth.

O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

5 Y ea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great the honour of Jehovah.

6 ¶ For the LORD, who is high and lifted up, looks upon the humble, but the proud he does not know.

For high Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

7 T hough I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

8 T he LORD will perfect that which concerns me; thy mercy, O LORD, endures for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
