- But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
May your blessing be on your people. Selah. - In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety. - Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice.
In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly. - For you will bless the righteous.
Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. - What is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him? - I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works. - I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble. - Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. - Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your hand!
Don’t forget the helpless. - But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to Yahweh,
because he has been good to me. - He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
and speaks truth in his heart;
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow man.
