**1 **\{*A Psalm* of David.} I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

**2 **I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

**3 **In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, *and* strengthenedst me *with* strength in my soul.

**4 **All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

**5 **Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great *is* the glory of the LORD.

**6 **Though the LORD *be* high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

**7 **Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

**8 **The LORD will perfect *that which* concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, *endureth* for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
