Of David. I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.

2 אשתחוה אל היכל קדשך ואודה את שמך על חסדך ועל אמתך כי הגדלת על כל שמך אמרתך׃

I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.

5 וישירו בדרכי יהוה כי גדול כבוד יהוה׃

They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 כי רם יהוה ושפל יראה וגבה ממרחק יידע׃

7 אם אלך בקרב צרה תחיני על אף איבי תשלח ידך ותושיעני ימינך׃

Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.

8 יהוה יגמר בעדי יהוה חסדך לעולם מעשי ידיך אל תרף׃
