- But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
may your blessing be on your people! Selah - I will both lie down and sleep in peace;
for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety. - O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch. - For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover them with favor as with a shield. - What are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them? - I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. - I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble. - And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. - Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed. - But I trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me. - Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right,
and speak the truth from their heart;
who do not slander with their tongue,
and do no evil to their friends,
nor take up a reproach against their neighbors.
