1 I will praise You with my whole heart;
^aBefore the gods I will sing praises to You. ‡

2 ^aI will worship ^btoward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have ^cmagnified Your word above all Your name. ‡

3 In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul.

4 ^aAll the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord,
When they hear the words of Your mouth. ‡

5 Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
For great is the glory of the Lord.

6 ^aThough the Lord is on high,
Yet ^bHe regards the lowly;
But the proud He knows from afar. ‡

7 ^aThough I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
You will stretch out Your hand
Against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me. ‡

8 ^aThe Lord will¹ perfect that which concerns me;
Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;
^bDo not forsake the works of Your hands. ‡
