[1] I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing Your praise. [2] I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and for Your truth; for You have exalted Your word above all Your name. [3] On the day I called, You answered me, and strengthened me in my soul. [4] All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Your mouth. [5] Indeed, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. [6] Though the LORD is exalted, yet He has concern for the lowly, but the proud one He knows from a distance. [7] Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will preserve me; You stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand saves me. [8] The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands.
