I am giving You thanks, O Lord,
And sing Your praise with my whole heart;
As I remain in one accord,
And my willingness to impart.
I bow towards Your Holy Temple,
While giving thanks to Your name;
For faithfulness to Your people,
Your steadfast love that I proclaim.
You have exalted of all things,
Proclaiming Your name and Your Word;
For in the day I call it brings,
Your answer what I acquired.
Because it has strengthened my soul,
Hearing the Word come as You speak;
The kings of the earth in control,
Giving thanks unto what You seek.
They shall sing the ways of the Lord,
Because how great is Your glory;
While singing in one accord,
About past days in the story.
Because the Lord lives upon high,
Regarding respect the lowly;
As the haughty giving a sigh,
Knowing not that He is Holy.
I walk in the midst of trouble,
But You are preserving my life;
Against the wrath and the rubble,
Easing me from the midst of strife.
You are fulfilling Your purpose,
Your steadfast love makes it perfect;
Because I trust in Your justice,
Forsaking not nor to reject.
