| You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. | You light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. |
| Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger. | Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands. Seek to do what is right and to live humbly. Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you— protect you from his anger on that day of destruction. |
| Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. | Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. |
