By David.

[1] I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods,§ I will sing praises to you.
[2] I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth;
for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
[3] In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
[4] All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
[5] Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh,
for Yahweh’s glory is great!
[6] For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
but he knows the proud from afar.
[7] Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me.
You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
Your right hand will save me.
[8] Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me.
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

Before the gods H430 will I sing praise H2167 (PielImpf) unto thee.
[2] I will worship H7812 (HithImpf) toward thy holy H6944 temple, H1964 and praise H3034 (HiphImpf) thy name H8034 for thy lovingkindness H2617 and for thy truth: H571
For thou hast magnified H1431 (HiphPerf) thy word H565 above all thy name. H8034
[3] In the day H3117 when I cried H7121 (QalPerf) thou answeredst H6030 (QalImpf) me,
And strengthenedst H7292 (HiphImpf) me with strength H5797 in my soul. H5315
[4] All the kings H4428 of the earth H776 shall praise H3034 (HiphImpf) thee, O Lord, H3068
When they hear H8085 (QalPerf) the words H561 of thy mouth. H6310
[5] Yea, they shall sing H7891 (QalImpf) in the ways H1870 of the Lord: H3068
For great H1419 is the glory H3519 of the Lord. H3068
[6] Though the Lord H3068 be high, H7311 (QalActPtc) yet hath he respect H7200 (QalImpf) unto the lowly: H8217
But the proud H1364 he knoweth H3045 (QalImpf) afar off. H4801
[7] Though I walk H3212 (QalImpf) in the midst H7130 of trouble, H6869 thou wilt revive H2421 (PielImpf) me:
Thou shalt stretch forth H7971 (QalImpf) thine hand H3027 against the wrath H639 of mine enemies, H341 (QalActPtc) and thy right hand H3225 shall save H3467 (HiphImpf) me.
[8] The Lord H3068 will perfect H1584 (QalImpf) that which concerneth me:
Thy mercy, H2617 O Lord, H3068 endureth for ever: H5769 Forsake H7503 (HiphImpf) not the works H4639 of thine own hands. H3027
