1 With all my heart, O LORD, I praise
your glorious ways in exultation.
Before the gods your name I bless
in thankfulness and adoration.
2 I bow down toward your holy place
and laud your grace, your love unfailing,
for you have shown your word and name
to be supreme and all-excelling.
3 You answered me the day I called;
you made me bold and valiant-hearted.
You heard me in my darkest hour
and by your power was I supported.
4 Now let the kings of all the earth
in awe shout forth their praise unbroken,
for peoples everywhere, O LORD,
have heard the words that you have spoken.
5 Let rulers all with one accord
extol the LORD in joyful chorus.
Let them all praise God’s majesty,
for great is he: his ways are glorious.
6 Though high enthroned, he from above
looks down in love upon the lowly,
but from afar the proud he knows
and will expose their ways unholy.
7 Lord, you will to my rescue come
when troubles loom from all directions.
Though enemies around me swarm,
your mighty arm is my protection.
8 God shall fulfil his plan for me;
his promise he will keep forever.
LORD, God of grace, do not cast off
your works of love. Forsake them never!
