| 1 A Psalm of David. I will give You thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to You before the gods. | 1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. | 1 [By David.] I will give thanks to you with all my heart. I will make music to praise you in front of the false gods. | 1 I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you. | 1 {A Psalm of David.} I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee. | 2 I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name. | 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. | 2 I will bow toward your holy temple. I will give thanks to your name because of your mercy and truth. You have made your name and your promise greater than everything. | 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. | 2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. | 3 On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul. | 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. | 3 When I called, you answered me. You made me bold by strengthening my soul. | 3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul. | 3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. | 4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O LORD, When they have heard the words of Your mouth. | 4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. | 4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to you, O LORD, because they have heard the promises you spoke. | 4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth. | 4 All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth; | 5 And they will sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD. | 5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. | 5 They will sing this about the ways of the LORD: "The LORD's honor is great!" | 5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; for great is Yahweh's glory. | 5 And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 For though the LORD is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar. | 6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. | 6 Even though the LORD is high above, he sees humble people [close up], and he recognizes arrogant people from a distance. | 6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar. | 6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off. | 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. | 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. | 7 Even though I walk into the middle of trouble, you guard my life against the anger of my enemies. You stretch out your hand, and your right hand saves me. | 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me. | 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. | 8 The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. | 8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. | 8 The LORD will do everything for me. O LORD, your mercy endures forever. Do not let go of what your hands have made. | 8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. | 8 Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands. |
