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.
