I will thank you with all my heart

A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue me.

The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.

I will thank you with all my heart

I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods,(a) I will sing praises to you.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great!

For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
