God has decreed that you will be powerful. O God, you who have acted on our behalf, demonstrate your power,

Be my protector and refuge, a stronghold where I can be safe! For you are my high ridge and my stronghold.

It is like the dew of Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed that is where the Lord has decreed a blessing will be available – eternal life.

To obey the Lord is the fundamental principle for wise living; all who carry out his precepts acquire good moral insight. He will receive praise forever.

For he will order his angels to protect you in all you do.

Praise the Lord, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders!

Stand up angrily, Lord! Rise up with raging fury against my enemies! Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them!

The Lord speaks; many, many women spread the good news.

His acts are characterized by faithfulness and justice; all his precepts are reliable.

I take note of the treacherous and despise them, because they do not keep your instructions.

I will meditate on your precepts and focus on your behavior.

Look, I long for your precepts. Revive me with your deliverance!

I will be secure, for I seek your precepts.

This has been my practice, for I observe your precepts.

They have almost destroyed me here on the earth, but I do not reject your precepts.

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have revived me.

I belong to you. Deliver me! For I seek your precepts.

I am more discerning than those older than I, for I observe your precepts.

Your precepts give me discernment. Therefore I hate all deceitful actions.

Deliver me from oppressive men, so that I can keep your precepts.
