1 By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the angels, 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, Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the Lord; for great is the Lord 's glory.

6 For though the Lord is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

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 The Lord will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
