On the day I called

I'll praise you with my whole heart; before the gods I'll sing praise to you. I'll worship toward your holy temple and praise your name for your faithful love and your truth, because you have magnified your word above all your name. On the day I called, you answered me and strengthened me with strength in my soul. All the kings of the earth will praise you, LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth. Yes, they'll sing about the ways of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD is great. Though the LORD is high, he still looks at the low. But he knows the proud from far off. Though I walk amid trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will save me. The LORD will perfect what concerns me. LORD, your mercy endures forever; don't abandon the works of your own hands.

I'll thank you with my whole heart. I'll sing praise to you in front of the gods. I'll bow down towards your holy temple and thank your name for your faithful love and your truth. Because you've made your word bigger than all your name. On the day I called, you answered me and made me strong with strength in my soul. All the kings of the earth will thank you, Lord, when they hear the words of your mouth. Yes, they'll sing about the ways of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great. Though the Lord is high, he still looks at the low. But he knows the proud from a long way off. Even when I walk in the middle of trouble, you'll keep me alive. You'll stretch out your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will save me. The Lord will finish what he's started for me. Lord, your faithful love goes on forever. Don't leave the works of your own hands.

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 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. In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 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. The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
