1Ein Psalm Davids. HERR, ich danke dir von ganzem Herzen, ich will dir singen vor den Göttern. (Ps 95,3; Ps 96,4; Ps 111,1)2Vor deinem heiligen Tempel werfe ich mich nieder und bete dich an. Ich preise deinen Namen für deine Gnade und Treue, denn du hast versprochen, deine Zusagen einzuhalten um der Ehre deines Namens willen[1]. (Ps 5,8)3Wenn ich zu dir bete, erhörst du mich; du machst mir Mut und gibst mir Kraft. (Ps 28,7; Ps 46,2; Ps 118,5)4HERR, alle Könige der Erde werden dir danken, wenn sie deine Worte gehört haben. (Ps 102,16)5Sie werden von den Wegen des HERRN singen, denn der Ruhm des HERRN ist groß.6Der HERR ist groß, und doch sorgt er für die Demütigen, von den Stolzen aber hält er sich fern. (Ps 101,5; Ps 113,4; Spr 3,34; Jak 4,6)7Wenn ich auch von allen Seiten bedrängt werde, wirst du mir doch das Leben bewahren. Du wirst die Hand gegen meine wütenden Feinde erheben und mich durch deine Macht retten. (2Mo 15,12; Esr 9,8; Ps 20,7; Ps 23,4; Ps 71,20)8Der HERR wird alles zu einem guten Ende bringen. HERR, deine Gnade gilt für alle Zeit. Verlass mich nicht, denn du hast mich erschaffen.[2] (Hi 10,3; Ps 27,9; Ps 71,9; Phil 1,6)
1Of David. I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; (Ps 95,3; Ps 96,5; Ps 111,1)2I bow down toward your holy 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.[1] (1Kön 8,29; Ps 5,7; Ps 28,2)3On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.[2]4All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth, (Ps 102,15)5and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord. (Ps 103,7)6For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. (Ps 113,5; Ps 131,1; Spr 3,34; Lk 1,48; Jak 4,6)7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. (1Sam 24,6; Hi 1,12; Ps 23,4; Ps 60,5; Ps 71,20)8The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (1Chr 16,41; Ps 57,2; Ps 100,3; Ps 136,1; Phil 1,6)
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.
