1 I will give You thanks with all my heart. I will sing praises to You in front of the gods.

I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

2 I will bow down toward Your holy house. And I will give thanks to Your name for Your loving-kindness and Your truth. For You have honored Your Word because of what Your name is.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

3 Y ou answered me on the day I called. You gave me strength in my soul.

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

4 O Lord, all the kings of the earth will give thanks to You when they have heard the words of Your mouth.

All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

5 A nd they will sing of the ways of the Lord. For the shining beauty of the Lord is great.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah.

6 F or even if the Lord is honored, He thinks about those who have no pride. But He knows the proud from far away.

For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

7 E ven if I walk into trouble, You will keep my life safe. You will put out Your hand against the anger of those who hate me. And Your right hand will save me.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me.

8 T he Lord will finish the work He started for me. O Lord, Your loving-kindness lasts forever. Do not turn away from the works of Your hands.

Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
