Read the Bible
1 <> I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you. 2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, And give thanks to your Name for your lovingkindness and for your truth; For you have exalted your Name and your Word above all. 3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the eretz will give you thanks, LORD, For they have heard the words of your mouth. 5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD; For great is the LORD's glory.
6 For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; But the proud, he knows from afar. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me. 8 The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me; Your lovingkindness, LORD, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands.
