Vers 1

Thee will I praise with all my heart,
I will sing praise to thee
Before the gods: And worship will
toward thy sanctuary.

Vers 2

I’ll praise thy name, ev’n for thy truth,
and kindness of thy love;
For thou thy word hast magnify’d
all thy great name above.

Vers 3

Thou didst me answer in the day
when I to thee did cry;
And thou my fainting soul with strength
didst strengthen inwardly.

Vers 4

All kings upon the earth that are
shall give thee praise, O Lord,
When as they from thy mouth shall hear
thy true and faithful word.

Vers 5

Yea, in the righteous ways of God
with gladness they shall sing:
For great’s the glory of the Lord;
who doth for ever reign.

Vers 6

Though God be high, yet he respects
all those that lowly be;
Whereas the proud and lofty ones
afar off knoweth he.

Vers 7

Though I in midst of trouble walk,
I life from thee shall have:
’Gainst my foes’ wrath thou’lt stretch thine hand;
thy right hand shall me save.

Vers 8

Surely that which concerneth me
the Lord will perfect make:
Lord, still thy mercy lasts; do not
thine own hands’ works forsake.
