New American Standard Bible 1995New Living Translation
1A Psalm of David. I will give You thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to You before the gods.1I give you thanks, O LORD, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods.
2I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name.2I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.
3On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.3As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.
4All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O LORD, When they have heard the words of Your mouth.4Every king in all the earth will thank you, LORD, for all of them will hear your words.
5And they will sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD.5Yes, they will sing about the LORD’s ways, for the glory of the LORD is very great.
6For though the LORD is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar.6Though the LORD is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.7Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me.
8The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.8The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
