Of David. I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;

אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֨ה אֶל הֵֽיכַ֪ל קָדְשְׁךָ֡ וְאוֹדֶ֗ה אֶת שְׁמֶ֥ךָ עַל חַסְדְּךָ֥ וְעַל אֲמִתֶּ֑ךָ כִּי הִגְדַּ֥לְתָּ עַל כָּל שִׁמְךָ֥ אִמְרָתֶֽךָ׃

KJVThough the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

אִם אֵלֵ֤ךְ בְּקֶֽרֶב צָרָה֮ תְּחַיֵּ֪נִ֫י עַ֥ל אַ֤ף אֹיְבַ֗י תִּשְׁלַ֥ח יָדֶ֑ךָ וְתוֹשִׁיעֵ֥נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
