I will fight the good fight as long as I there is breath in my body.
I will not take for granted the sacrifices made
by those who fought and fell before me.
1 I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart;
before the “gods” I will sing your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
3 When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted.
4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O Lord,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5 May they sing of the ways of the Lord,
for the glory of the Lord is great.
6 Though the Lord is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.
8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
