1Davids. Ich danke dir von ganzem Herzen; vor den Göttern will ich dir lobsingen.
1Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:
2Ich will anbeten zu deinem heiligen Tempel und deinem Namen danken für deine Güte und Treue; denn du hast deinen Namen über alles herrlich gemacht durch dein Wort.
2Thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.
3Wenn ich dich anrufe, so erhörst du mich und gibst meiner Seele große Kraft.
3Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.
4Es danken dir, HERR, alle Könige auf Erden, daß sie hören das Wort deines Mundes,
4And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.
5und singen auf den Wegen des HERRN, daß die Ehre des HERRN groß sei.
5Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
6Denn der HERR ist hoch und sieht auf das Niedrige und kennt die Stolzen von ferne.
6Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
7Wenn ich mitten in der Angst wandle, so erquickst du mich und streckst deine Hand über den Zorn meiner Feinde und hilfst mir mit deiner Rechten.
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
8Der HERR wird's für mich vollführen. HERR, deine Güte ist ewig. Das Werk deiner Hände wollest du nicht lassen.
8If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.
