Thanks for an answered prayer

¹Of David. With all my heart I will give you thanks; in the presence of the gods I will make music for you. ²I will bow down facing your holy temple and praise your name for your loyal love and your faithfulness; for you have made your promise great, beyond all that your name had made known. ³The day I called, you answered me; you filled me with courage and strength within. ⁴LORD, every king on earth will give you thanks, because they have heard the words you spoke. ⁵They will sing of the LORD’s ways, because the glory of the LORD is so great. ⁶The LORD is high, yet he looks upon those who are low; the proud he knows from a distance. ⁷Even when I walk through the middle of trouble, you keep me alive. You reach out your hand against my enemies’ fury, and your right hand rescues me. ⁸The LORD will carry out his plan for me. LORD, your loyal love lasts forever; do not let go of what your hands have made.
