You have treated me well, O Lord, as you promised.
But who am I and who are my people that you enable us to give so generously? Everything comes from you. We give you only what has come from your hands.
Be at peace again, my soul, because the Lord has been good to you.
Be kind to me so that I may live and hold on to your word.
I will sing to the Lord because he has been good to me.
You have given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand supports me. Your gentleness makes me great.
You have changed my sobbing into dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
