1I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; | 1LORD, I thank you with all of my heart; because you heard the words that I spoke, I will sing your praise before the heavenly beings. |
2I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. | 2I will bow down in worship toward your holy Temple and give thanks to your name for your gracious love and truth, for you have done great things to carry out your word consistent with your name. |
3On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased. | 3When I called out, you answered me; you strengthened me. |
4All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth, | 4LORD, all the kings of the earth will give you thanks, for they have heard what you have spoken. |
5and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. | 5They will sing about the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD! |
6For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. | 6Though the LORD is highly exalted, yet he pays attention to those who are lowly regarded, but he is aware of the arrogant from afar. |
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. | 7Though I walk straight into trouble, you preserve my life, stretching out your hand to fight the vehemence of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. |
8The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. | 8The LORD will complete what his purpose is for me. LORD, your gracious love is eternal; do not abandon your personal work in me. |
