The writer praises God for answering prayer

«Of David.» I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods. By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name. I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul. In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears. All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord. Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; for great is Yahweh’s glory.

The Lord's dealing with the humble and the proud

Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up. For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.
Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands. Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
