I will thank you with all my heart

1
I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods,(a) I will sing praises to you.
2
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.
3
In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4
All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5
Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great!
6
For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.
7
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.
8
The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
