A Thankful Heart

Of David.

¹I give You thanks with all my heart;

before the gods I sing Your praises.

²I bow down toward Your holy temple

and give thanks to Your name

for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness;

You have exalted Your name

and Your word above all else.

³On the day I called, You answered me;

You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

⁴All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O Lord,

when they hear the words of Your mouth.

⁵They will sing of the ways of the Lord,

for the glory of the Lord is great.

⁶Though the Lord is on high,

He attends to the lowly;

but the proud He knows from afar.

⁷If I walk in the midst of trouble,

You preserve me from the anger of my foes;

You extend Your hand,

and Your right hand saves me.

⁸The Lord will fulfill

His purpose for me.

O Lord, Your loving devotion endures forever—

do not abandon the works of Your hands.
