| 1Of David. I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will 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 will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame. | 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. |
| 3When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me. | 3When I called out, you answered me; you strengthened me. |
| 4May all the kings of the earth praise you, LORD, when they hear what you have decreed. | 4LORD, all the kings of the earth will give you thanks, for they have heard what you have spoken. |
| 5May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great. | 5They will sing about the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD! |
| 6Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them 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 anger of my foes; with your right hand you save 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 vindicate me; your love, LORD, endures forever-- do not abandon the works 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. |
