| 1 | [A Psalm] of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, In the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee. | 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 will bow down toward Thy holy temple, And give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; For Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name. | 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 | In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage 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 | All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, For they have heard the words of Thy 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 | Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; For great is the glory of the LORD. | 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 though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, And the haughty He knoweth 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 | Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And Thy right hand doth save 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 | The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; Forsake not the work of Thine own 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. | |
