1. ¹I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.
2. ²I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3. ³In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
4. ⁴All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;
5. ⁵And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.
6. ⁶For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.
7. ⁷Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8. ⁸Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [ergänzt: endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
