¹ of David. I WILL confess and praise You with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing praises to You. ² I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all Your name! ³ In the day when I called, You answered me; and You strengthened me with strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) in my inner self. ⁴ All the kings of the land shall give You credit and praise You, O Lord, for they have heard of the promises of Your mouth . ⁵ Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord and joyfully celebrate His mighty acts, for great is the glory of the Lord. ⁶ For though the Lord is high, yet has He respect to the lowly ; but the proud and haughty He knows and recognizes at a distance. ⁷ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth 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 and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever--forsake not the works of Your own hands.
