Psalms

Of David.

A Thankful Heart

1By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.+ 2I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.+ 3In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul with strength.+ 4O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.+ 5And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great is the honour of Jehovah.+ 6For high is Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.+ 7If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.+ 8Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness is to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!+
