- But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. - Victory comes from you, O Lord.
May you bless your people. - In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. - Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. - For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love. - What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them? - I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. - I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. - The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble. - Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. - Arise, O Lord!
Punish the wicked, O God!
Do not ignore the helpless! - But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me. - Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.
