Psalms

¹I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you. ²I 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. ³In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul. ⁴All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth. ⁵Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; for great is Yahweh's glory. ⁶For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar. ⁷Though 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. ⁸Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
