By David.
1
I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods,a I will sing praises to you.
2
I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth;
for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
3
In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4
All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, YHVH,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5
Yes, they will sing of the ways of YHVH,
for YHVH’s glory is great!
6
For though YHVH is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
but he knows the proud from afar.
7
Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me.
You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
Your right hand will save me.
8
YHVH will fulfill that which concerns me.
Your loving kindness, YHVH, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
