1Te alabaré con todo mi corazón; Delante de los dioses te cantaré salmos.
2Me postraré hacia tu santo templo, Y alabaré tu nombre por tu misericordia y tu fidelidad; Porque has engrandecido tu nombre, y tu palabra sobre todas las cosas.
3El día que clamé, me respondiste; Me fortaleciste con vigor en mi alma.
4Te alabarán, oh Jehová, todos los reyes de la tierra, Porque han oído los dichos de tu boca.
5Y cantarán de los caminos de Jehová, Porque la gloria de Jehová es grande.
6Porque Jehová es excelso, y atiende al humilde, Mas al altivo mira de lejos.
7Si anduviere yo en medio de la angustia, tú me vivificarás; Contra la ira de mis enemigos extenderás tu mano, Y me salvará tu diestra.
8Jehová cumplirá su propósito en mí; Tu misericordia, oh Jehová, es para siempre; No desampares la obra de tus manos.
