The Message Bible MSG
1 I give you thanks, O LORD, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods.
1
Thank you! Everything in me says "Thank you!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks.
2 I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.
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.
3 As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.
3
The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.
4 Every king in all the earth will thank you, LORD, for all of them will hear your words.
4
When they hear what you have to say, God, all earth's kings will say "Thank you."
5 Yes, they will sing about the LORD ’s ways, for the glory of the LORD is very great.
5
They'll sing of what you've done: "How great the glory of God!"
6 Though the LORD is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud.
6
And here's why: God, high above, sees far below; no matter the distance, he knows everything about us.
7 Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me.
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.
8 The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
8
Finish what you started in me, God. Your love is eternal - don't quit on me now.
