   I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name.

3. 3

   In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.

4. 4

   May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

5. 5

   And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

   For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

   If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

   The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the works of thy hands.
