1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart; 
I will sing your praises before the gods.

2 I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. 
I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; 
for your promises are backed 
by all the honor of your name.

3 As soon as I pray, you answer me; 
you encourage me by giving me strength.

4 Every king in all the earth will thank you, Lord, 
for all of them will hear your words.

5 Yes, they will sing about the Lord’s ways, 
for the glory of the Lord is very great.

6 Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, 
but he keeps his distance from the proud.

7 Though I am surrounded by troubles, 
you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. 
You reach out your hand, 
and the power of your right hand saves me.

8 The Lord will work out his plans for my life— 
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. 
Don’t abandon me, for you made me.

SELAH!!!!
