By David [Beloved].
1 I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to with my whole heart.
Before the deities, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your Name for your cheshed ·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 yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai ,
for they have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the words of your mouth.
5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Adonai ;
for great is the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·.
6 For though Adonai is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
but the proud, he knows 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 Adonai will fulfill that which concerns me;
your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai , endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
