1 By David:
I give you thanks with all my heart.
Not to idols, but to you I sing praise.
2 I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth;
for you have made your word [even] greater
than the whole of your reputation.
3 When I called, you answered me,
you made me bold and strong.
4 All the kings of the earth will thank you,Adonai,
when they hear the words you have spoken.
5 They will sing aboutAdonai’s ways,
“Great is the glory ofAdonai!”
6 For thoughAdonaiis high, he cares for the lowly;
while the proud he perceives from afar.
7 You keep me alive when surrounded by danger;
you put out your hand when my enemies rage;
with your right hand you save me.
8 Adonaiwill fulfill his purpose for me.
Your grace,Adonai, continues forever.
Don’t abandon the work of your hands!
