| 1 | Of David. I give You praise with all of my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises. | I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; | Of David. I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise. | |
| 2 | I bow down toward the temple of Your holiness, and I give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion, and for Your faithfulness; for You have magnified above all Your name and Your word. | I 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. | I 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. | |
| 3 | On the day I called out, then You answered me; You embolden me in my soul with strength. | On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased. | When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me. | |
| 4 | O YHWH, all the kings of the earth will give You thanks when they hear the words of Your mouth. | All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth, | May all the kings of the earth praise you, LORD, when they hear what you have decreed. | |
| 5 | And they will sing of the ways of YHWH: For great is the glory of YHWH! | and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. | May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great. | |
| 6 | For YHWH is on high, and the lowly one He sees, and the haughty He knows from afar. | For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. | Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar. | |
| 7 | When I walk in the midst of distress, You revive me against the anger of my enemies; You stretch out Your hand, and Your right hand saves me. | Though 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. | Though 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. | |
| 8 | May YHWH complete this on my behalf! O YHWH, Your loving devotion is forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands! | The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. | The LORD will vindicate me; your love, LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands. | |
