I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart, for you have listened to the cry I uttered. In the presence of angels I sing to you,
I bow down before your holy Temple. I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy; your promises surpass even your fame.
You heard me on the day when I called, and you gave new strength to my heart.
All the kings of the earth give thanks to you, Yahweh, when they hear the promises you make;
they sing of Yahweh’s ways, ‘Great is the glory of Yahweh!’
Sublime as he is, Yahweh looks on the humble, the proud he picks out from afar.
Though I live surrounded by trouble you give me life — to my enemies’ fury! You stretch out your right hand and save me,
Yahweh will do all things for me. Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever, do not abandon what you have made.
