- I love you, Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. - In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears. - To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless. - You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light. - As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him. - For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God? - You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.
You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way. - The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge. - The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes. - May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. - May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed. - Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
