1 Thank you! Everything in me says "Thank you!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks.
1
<<By David.>> I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
2 I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: "Thank you!" Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word.
2
I will bow down toward your holy temple, And give thanks to your Name for your lovingkindness and for your truth; For you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
3 The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.
3
In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4 When they hear what you have to say, God, all earth's kings will say "Thank you."
4
All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, For they have heard the words of your mouth.
5 They'll sing of what you've done: "How great the glory of God!"
5
Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; For great is Yahweh's glory.
6 And here's why: God, high above, sees far below; no matter the distance, he knows everything about us.
6
For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; But the proud, he knows from afar.
7 When I walk into the thick of trouble, keep me alive in the angry turmoil. With one hand strike my foes, With your other hand save me.
7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8 Finish what you started in me, God. Your love is eternal - don't quit on me now.
8
Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands.
