The Lord strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king.

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

To you, O Lord, I cried out; I begged the Lord for mercy:

But I trust in you, O Lord! I declare, “You are my God!”

Be strong and confident, all you who wait on the Lord!

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!

Give thanks to the Lord with the harp! Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument!

For the Lord’s decrees are just, and everything he does is fair.

The Lord promotes equity and justice; the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth.

By the Lord’s decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.

The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples.

The Lord’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.

The Lord watches from heaven; he sees all people.

Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness

May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord, for we wait for you.

I will boast in the Lord; let the oppressed hear and rejoice!

Magnify the Lord with me! Let’s praise his name together!

I sought the Lord’s help and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

The Lord’s angel camps around the Lord’s loyal followers and delivers them.
