1Of David. I will give you thanks with all my heart; before God I will sing praises to you.
2I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name for your lovingkindness and for your truth; for you have magnified your word above all your name.
3In the day I called, you answered me; you emboldened me with strength in my soul (nephesh).
4All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, YHWH, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5And they shall sing in the ways of YHWH, for great is the glory of YHWH.
6For YHWH is exalted, yet he sees the lowly, and the haughty he knows from afar.
7If I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve me alive; against the wrath of my enemies you stretch out your hand, and your right hand saves me (yasha).
8YHWH will accomplish on my behalf; YHWH, your lovingkindness is forever; do not forsake the works of your hands.
