I'll Praise You, LORD

1 I'll praise You, LORD, with all my heart;
Before the gods I'll sing Your praise.
I'll bow towards Your holy place
And bless Your holy Name always.

2 I'll praise You for Your faithfulness
And for Your cov'nant love, O LORD,
For over all things You have raised
Your holy Name and faithful Word.

3 The very day I called to You,
You gave an answer to my plea.
You made me bold within myself;
With new resolve You strengthened me.

4 O LORD, let all earth's kings give praise,
When from your mouth they hear Your Word.
Let them extol the ways of God,
For great's the glory of the LORD.

5 Although the LORD God dwells on high,
The lowly person He protects,
Whereas the proud and haughty one
He knows afar off and rejects.

6 Although I walk a troubled path,
Your tender care preserves my life.
You raise your hand against my foes;
Your right hand saves me from their strife.

7 The LORD will certainly fulfil
For me the purpose He commands.
Your love endures forever, LORD;
Preserve the works of Your own hands.
