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

By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise 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 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 Y ou answered me on the day I called. You gave me strength in my soul.

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

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

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

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

And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great the honour 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 high Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

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.

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