For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth:

I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name {N}for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me;
