3 When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth;
4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, LORD, when they hear what you have decreed.
5 and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.
