1 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.
6 For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.
8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
