2 I will bow down toward your holy temple 
   and will praise your name 
   for your love and your faithfulness, 
   for you have exalted above all things 
   your name and your word.

3 When I called, you answered me; 
   you made me bold and stouthearted.

4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD, 
   when they hear the words of your mouth.

5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD, 
   for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, 
   but the proud he knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, 
   you preserve my life; 
   you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, 
   with your right hand you save me.

8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; 
   your love, O LORD, endures forever— 
   do not abandon the works of your hands.
