By David.

• ¹I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
• Before the gods *The word elohim, used here, usually means “God,” but can also mean “gods,” “princes,” or “angels.”, I will sing praises to you.

• ²I will bow down toward your holy temple,
• and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth;
• for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

• ³In the day that I called, you answered me.
• You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

• ⁴All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh,
• for they have heard the words of your mouth.

• ⁵Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh;
• for great is Yahweh’s glory.

• ⁶For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
• but the proud, he knows from afar.

• ⁷Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me.
• You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
• Your right hand will save me.

• ⁸Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me;
• your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
• Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
