Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:
For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies,
And thy right hand will save me.

Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;
Forsake not the works of thine own hands. |
