1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to thee.2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.3 In the day when I cried thou didst answer me, and strengthen me with strength in my soul.4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.6 Though the LORD is high, yet hath he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thy own hands.
