| 1 {[A Psalm] of David.} I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee. | 1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise. |
| 2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. | 2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. |
| 3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. | 3 When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted. |
| 4 All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth; | 4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth. |
| 5 And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah. | 5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great. |
| 6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off. | 6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar. |
| 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. | 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. |
| 8 Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands. | 8 The LORD will fulfill [his purpose] for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever-- do not abandon the works of your hands. |
