The Lord values the lives of his faithful followers.

May your priests be clothed with integrity! May your loyal followers shout for joy!

I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly.

All he has made will give thanks to the Lord. Your loyal followers will praise you.

Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

You prove to be loyal to one who is faithful; you prove to be trustworthy to one who is innocent.

Sing to the Lord, you faithful followers of his; give thanks to his holy name.

He says: “Assemble my covenant people before me, those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice!”

The Lord is just in all his actions, and exhibits love in all he does.

Realize that the Lord shows the godly special favor; the Lord responds when I cry out to him.

You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit.

Vindicate me, O God! Fight for me against an ungodly nation! Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!

I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.

They have given the corpses of your servants to the birds of the sky; the flesh of your loyal followers to the beasts of the earth.

Protect me, for I am loyal! O my God, deliver your servant, who trusts in you!

You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of his faithful followers; he delivers them from the power of the wicked.

He has made his people victorious, and given all his loyal followers reason to praise – the Israelites, the people who are close to him. Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song! Praise him in the assembly of the godly!

and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced. All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the Lord!

For the music director; according to the sheminith style; a psalm of David. Deliver, Lord! For the godly have disappeared; people of integrity have vanished.
