For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

The Lord is King; he is clothed with glory; the Lord is clothed with strength; power is the cord of his robe; the world is fixed, so that it may not be moved.

The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;

Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.

The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.

The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.

For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!

Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.

Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.

Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.

Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.

Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.
