1 I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.
1By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.
2I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.
2I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.
3When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.
3In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul <FI>with<Fi> strength.
4All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.
4O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.
5They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
5And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great <FI>is<Fi> the honour of Jehovah.
6Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.
6For high <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.
7Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.
7If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.
