¹[A Psalm of David.] I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.לְדָוִ֨ד אוֹדְךָ֥ בְכָל לִבִּ֑י נֶ֖גֶד אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲזַמְּרֶֽךָּ
²I 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.אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֨ה אֶל הֵיכַ֪ל קָדְשְׁךָ֡ וְא֘וֹדֶ֤ה אֶת שְׁמֶ֗ךָ עַל חַסְדְּךָ֥ וְעַל אֲמִתֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי הִגְדַּ֥לְתָּ עַל כָּל שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ אִמְרָתֶֽךָ
³In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.בְּי֣וֹם קָ֭רָֽאתִי וַֽתַּעֲנֵ֑נִי תַּרְהִבֵ֖נִי בְנַפְשִׁ֣י עֹֽז
⁴All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.יוֹד֣וּךָ יְ֭הוָה כָּל מַלְכֵי אָ֑רֶץ כִּ֥י שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ אִמְרֵי פִֽיךָ
⁵Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.וְ֭יָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֥י גָ֝ד֗וֹל כְּב֣וֹד יְהוָֽה
⁶Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.כִּי רָ֣ם יְ֭הוָה וְשָׁפָ֣ל יִרְאֶ֑ה וְ֝גָבֹ֗הַּ מִמֶּרְחָ֥ק יְיֵדָֽע
⁷Though 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.אִם אֵלֵ֤ךְ בְּקֶ֥רֶב צָרָ֗ה תְּחַ֫יֵּ֥נִי עַ֤ל אַ֣ף אֹ֭יְבַי תִּשְׁלַ֣ח יָדֶ֑ךָ וְת֖וֹשִׁיעֵ֣נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ
⁸The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.יְהוָה֮ יִגְמֹ֪ר בַּ֫עֲדִ֥י יְ֭הוָה חַסְדְּךָ֣ לְעוֹלָ֑ם מַעֲשֵׂ֖י יָדֶ֣יךָ אַל תֶּֽרֶף
