“As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, For they were too strong for me. He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.
For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.
The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.”
