1 (Of Dovid)

I will thank Thee with my whole lev;

before the elohim will I sing praise unto Thee.

2 I will worship toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh,

and praise Shmecha (Thy Name)

for Thy chesed and for Thy emes;

for Thou hast magnified Thy Word

above Kol Shimcha (all Thy Name).*138:2 Yn 1:1, 14

3 In the day when I called out, Thou answeredst me,

and madest me bold with oz (strength) in my nefesh.

4 Kol Malchei Aretz shall praise Thee, Hashem,

when they hear the words of Thy mouth.

5 Yes, they shall sing of the Darkhei Hashem;

for gadol is the Kavod Hashem.

6 Though Hashem be on high,

yet He looks upon the lowly;

but the proud He knoweth from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of tzoros,

Thou wilt preserve me alive;

Thou shalt stretch forth Thine yad against the wrath of mine enemies,

and Thy Yamin (Right Hand) shall save me.

8 Hashem will fulfill that which concerneth me;

Thy chesed, O Hashem, endureth l’olam;

forsake not the works of Thine own yadayim.
