| 1 | By David. I will give you thanks with all my heart; before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you. | 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 your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, because of your loyal love and faithfulness, for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky. | 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 | When I cried out for help, you answered me. You made me bold and energized me. | 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 | Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O LORD, when they hear the words you speak. | 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 | Let them sing about the LORD's deeds, for the LORD's splendor is magnificent. | 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 | Though the LORD is exalted, he takes note of the lowly, and recognizes the proud from far away. | 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 | Even when I must walk in the midst of danger, you revive me. You oppose my angry 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 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 avenges me. O LORD, your loyal love endures. Do not abandon those whom you have made! | 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. | |
