| 1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to thee. | 1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise. |
| 2 I will worship towards thy holy temple, and praise 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 cried thou didst answer me, [and] strengthen 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 praise thee, O LORD, when they hear 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 Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is] the glory of the LORD. | 5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great. |
| 6 Though the LORD [is] high, yet hath he respect to the lowly: but 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 wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will 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 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works thy 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. |
