and receive favor from the Lord. - The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him. - Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

a stronghold in times of trouble. - Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name. - There is no one holy like the Lord;

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

and his understanding no one can fathom. - For the Lord is our judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our king;
it is he who will save us. - I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears. - Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans. - And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
- I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.” - The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love. - The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,
without painful toil for it. - Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. - “No weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the Lord.
