I will give thanks to you, O, with my whole heart; * before the gods I will sing your praise.

I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your Name, * because of your love and faithfulness;

For you have glorified your Name * and your word above all things.

When I called, you answered me; * you increased my strength within me.

All the kings of the earth will praise you, O, * when they have heard the words of your mouth.

They will sing of the ways of the, * that great is the glory of the.

Though the be high, he cares for the lowly; * he perceives the haughty from afar.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; * you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me.

The will make good his purpose for me; * O, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.
