Give Thanks to the Lord
Of David.
aI give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before bthe gods I sing your praise;
2 I bow down atoward your bholy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
3 On the day I called, you answered me;
my strength of soul you increased.
4 aAll the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5 and they shall sing of athe ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 aFor though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
but the haughty he knows from afar.
7 aThough I walk in the midst of trouble,
you bpreserve my life;
you cstretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and your dright hand delivers me.
8 The Lord will afulfill his purpose for me;
byour steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake cthe work of your hands.
