[1] I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods.
[2] I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.
[3] As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.
[4] Every king in all the earth will thank you, Lord, for all of them will hear your words.
[5] Yes, they will sing about the Lord’s ways, for the glory of the Lord is very great.
[6] Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud.
[7] Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me.
[8] The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
