1 I thank you, O Lord, with all my heart, for you have heard the word of my lips. I sing your praise in the presence of the gods.
2 I bow down towards your holy temple and give thanks to your name, for your love and faithfulness, for your word which exceeds everything.
3 You answered me when I called; you restored my soul and made me strong.
4 O Lord, all kings on earth will give you praise, when they have heard your words.
5 They will celebrate the ways of the Lord, “great is the glory of the Lord!”
6 From above, the Lord watches over the lowly; from afar, he marks down the haughty.
7 If I walk in the midst of trouble, you give me life. With outstretched arm, you save me from the wrath of my foes, with your right hand you deliver me.
8 How the Lord cares for me! Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. Forsake not the work of your hands.
