1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;before the gods I sing your praise;
2 I bow down toward your holy templeand give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,for you have exalted above all thingsyour name and your word.
3 On the day I called, you answered me;my strength of soul you increased.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,but the haughty he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,you preserve my life;you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,and your right hand delivers me.
8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.Do not forsake the work of your hands.
