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 great is Yahweh's glory. 6: For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar. 7: Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth 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. Psalm 139 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
