1 By David. I will give thanks to you with all my heart. I will make music to praise you in front of the false gods. 2 I will bow toward your holy temple. I will give thanks to your name because of your mercy and truth. You have made your name and your promise greater than everything. 3 When I called, you answered me. You made me bold by strengthening my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to you, O LORD, because they have heard the promises you spoke. 5 They will sing this about the ways of the LORD: "The LORD's honor is great!" 6 Even though the LORD is high above, he sees humble people close up, and he recognizes arrogant people from a distance. 7 Even though I walk into the middle of trouble, you guard my life against the anger of my enemies. You stretch out your hand, and your right hand saves me. 8 The LORD will do everything for me. O LORD, your mercy endures forever. Do not let go of what your hands have made.
