1 B y David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

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

2 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

5 A nd they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great the honour of Jehovah.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 F or high Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

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

7 I f 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.

Though 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.

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

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