- The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him. - The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. - A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother. - I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. - On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God. - I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart. - My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. - He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. - For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word. - But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
- Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - My son, if your heart is wise,
my heart too will be glad. - In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears. - Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am a sojourner with you,
a guest, like all my fathers. - The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing. - If you turn at my reproof,
behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes. - For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
- For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him. - Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
- O Lord, all my longing is before you;
my sighing is not hidden from you.
