I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to You.

2 I will worship Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovinkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

3 In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 Though the  LORD is on high, yet He regards the lowely; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 Though I walked in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.

8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands. PSALM 138
