1 Dauid praiseth God for the truth of his word. 4 He prophecieth that the kings of the earth shall praise God. 7 He professeth his confidence in God.

¹ [A Psalme of Dauid.] I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise vnto thee.¹

² I will worship towards thy holy temple, and praise thy name, for thy louing kindnesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy word aboue all thy name.

³ In the day when I cried, thou answeredst me: and strengthenedst me with strength in my soule.

⁴ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: when they heare the words of thy mouth.

⁵ Yea they shall sing in the wayes of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
