1
I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;
2
I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted your name and your word above everything.
3
On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul.
4
All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5
They shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord.
6
For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly; but the haughty he perceives from far away.
7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies; you stretch out your hand, and your right hand delivers me.
8
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
