English Standard VersionChristian Standard Bible
1I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;1I will give you thanks with all my heart; I will sing your praise before the heavenly beings.
2I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.2I will bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your constant love and truth. You have exalted your name and your promise above everything else.
3On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.3On the day I called, you answered me; you increased strength within me.
4All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth,4All the kings on earth will give you thanks, LORD, when they hear what you have promised.
5and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.5They will sing of the LORD's ways, for the LORD's glory is great.
6For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar.6Though the LORD is exalted, he takes note of the humble; but he knows the haughty from a distance.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.7If I walk into the thick of danger, you will preserve my life from the anger of my enemies. You will extend your hand; your right hand will save me.
8The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.8The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me. LORD, your faithful love endures forever; do not abandon the work of your hands.
