Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor
A Psalm of David
1 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 loving-kindness 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.
