- 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. - 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. - With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless. - For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness. - This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. - For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God? - You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand supported me,
and your gentleness made me great.
You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. - The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge. - The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - May he grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans! - Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
