God, I am ready, heart and soul, to sing songs of praise.
They will not be afraid of bad news. They are confident because they trust in the Lord.
I went to the Lord for help, and he listened. He saved me from all that I fear.
Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They will say, “People in the east, praise the Lord! People in faraway lands, praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.”
And we are also happy with the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these troubles make us more patient.
The trouble they cause will come back on them. They plan harm for others, but they are the ones who will be hurt.
I did nothing wrong, but they tried to trap me. For no reason at all, they dug a pit to catch me.
The wicked try to trap me, but I have not disobeyed your instructions.
Lord, you are my God. Lord, listen to my prayer.
Those evil people are trying to trap me. Don’t let me fall into their traps.
