1I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; before the ‘gods’ I will sing your praise.2I will bow down towards your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.3When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.4May all the kings of the earth praise you, Lord, when they hear what you have decreed.5May they sing of the ways of the Lord, for the glory of the Lord is great.6Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.8The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures for ever – do not abandon the works of your hands.
1LORD, I will praise you with all my heart. In front of those who think they are gods I will sing praise to you.2I will bow down facing your holy temple. I will praise your name, because you are always loving and faithful. You have honoured your holy word even more than your own fame.3When I called out to you, you answered me. You made me strong and brave.4LORD, may all the kings on earth praise you when they hear about what you have decided.5LORD, may they sing about what you have done, because your glory is great.6Though the LORD is high above all, he cares for the lowly. Though he is in heaven above, he sees them on earth below.7Trouble is all around me, but you keep me alive. You reach out your hand to put a stop to the anger of my enemies. With your powerful right hand you save me.8LORD, you will show that I was right to trust you. LORD, your faithful love continues for ever. You have done so much for us, so don’t stop now.
