A Thankful Heart 1(137:1) A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth. 2(137:2) I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing. 3(137:3) In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my soul. 4(137:4) Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth. 5(137:5) And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord. 6(137:6) For the Lord is high, and yet regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off. 7(137:7) Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me. 8(137:8) O Lord, thou shalt recompense them on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, endures for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.
