1 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart;

before the gods I will sing your praise.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple

and praise your Name,

because of your love and faithfulness;

3 For you have glorified your Name

and your word above all things.

4 When I called, you answered me;

you increased my strength within me.

5 All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord,

when they have heard the words of your mouth.

6 They will sing of the ways of the Lord,

that great is the glory of the Lord.

7 Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly;

he perceives the haughty from afar.

8 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.

9 The Lord will make good his purpose for me;

O Lord, your love endures for ever;
