1 By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

1 לְדָוִ֨ד׀ אֹודְךָ֥ בְכָל־לִבִּ֑י נֶ֖גֶד אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲזַמְּרֶֽךָּ׃

2 I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

2 אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֨ה אֶל־הֵיכַ֪ל קָדְשְׁךָ֡ וְאֹ֘ודֶ֤ה אֶת־שְׁמֶ֗ךָ עַל־חַסְדְּךָ֥ וְעַל־אֲמִתֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי־הִגְדַּ֥לְתָּ עַל־כָּלשִ֝־מְךָ֗ אִמְרָתֶֽךָ׃

3 In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul `with' strength.

3 בְּיֹ֣ום קָ֭רָֽאתִי וַֽתַּעֲנֵ֑נִי תַּרְהִבֵ֖נִי בְנַפְשִׁ֣י עֹֽז׃

4 O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

4 יֹוד֣וּךָ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־מַלְכֵי־אָ֑רֶץ כִּ֥י מְע֗וּ אִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

5 And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great `is' the honour of Jehovah.

5 וְ֭יָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֥י גָ֝דֹ֗ול כְּבֹ֣וד יְהוָֽה׃

6 For high `is' Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

6 כִּי־רָ֣ם יְ֭הוָה וְשָׁפָ֣ל יִרְאֶ֑ה וְ֝גָבֹ֗הַּ מִמֶּרְחָ֥ק יְיֵדָֽע׃

7 If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

7 אִם־אֵלֵ֤ךְ׀ בְּקֶ֥רֶב צָרָ֗ה תְּחַ֫יֵּ֥נִי עַ֤ל אַ֣ף אֹ֖יְבַי¹ תִּשְׁלַ֣ח יָדֶ֑ךָ וְתֹ֖ושִׁיעֵ֣נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

8 Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness `is' to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!

8 יְהוָה֮ יִגְמֹ֪ר בַּ֫עֲדִ֥י יְ֭הוָה חַסְדְּךָ֣ לְעֹולָ֑ם מַעֲשֵׂ֖י יָדֶ֣יךָ אַל־תֶּֽרֶף׃
