May the LORD bless his people with peace and happiness and let them celebrate.
When God's people see the godless swept away, they celebrate,
The LORD is my fortress! Don't say to me, “Escape like a bird to the mountains!”
Their descendants will have great power in the land, because the LORD blesses all who do right.
I come to you for shelter. Protect me, keep me safe, and don't disappoint me.
And so your good people should celebrate and shout.
and you gave me a new song, a song of praise to you. Many will see this, and they will honour and trust you, the LORD God.
Good people will be glad when they see the wicked getting what they deserve, and they will wash their feet in their enemies' blood.
If you obey and do right, a light will show you the way and fill you with happiness.
But I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of his cross, the world is dead as far as I am concerned, and I am dead as far as the world is concerned.
Always be glad because of the Lord! I will say it again: be glad.
