come to my relief. - I spread out my hands to you;

lead me on level ground. - I will exalt you, my God the King;

for you alone, Lord,

and wait expectantly. - Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;

human beings that you care for them? - I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. - I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High. - The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble. - Those who know your name trust in you,
