1I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before
2the gods I sing your praise;
2
I bow down
3toward your
4holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
3
On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.
4
5All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5
and they shall sing of
6the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.
6
7For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar.

8Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you
9preserve my life; you
10stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your
11right hand delivers me.
8
The LORD will
12fulfill his purpose for me;
13your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake
14the work of your hands.
