¹ I give you thanks with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise.
² I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name,
because of your loyal love and faithfulness,
for you have magnified your word^[b] according to all your name.^[c]
3 When^[d] I called and you answered me,
you emboldened me in my soul with strength.
⁴ All the kings of the earth
will praise you, O Yahweh,
when they have heard the words^[e] of your mouth,
⁵ and they will sing of the ways of Yahweh,
because Yahweh's glory is great.
⁶ Though Yahweh is high, yet he sees the lowly,
but the proud he perceives^[f] at a distance.
⁷ Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve me alive.
You stretch out your hand against the anger of my enemies,
and you save me with your right hand.
⁸ Yahweh accomplishes things for my benefit.
O Yahweh, your loyal love endures forever;
do not abandon the works of your hands.
