I shall givethanksto You, for You have answeredme, And You have becomemy salvation.
The LORDis for me; I will not fear;Whatcan mandoto me?
For You lightmy lamp;The LORDmy Godilluminesmy darkness.
For by You I can runupon a troop;And by my GodI can leapover a wall.
The LORDlives,and blessedbe my rock;And exaltedbe the Godof my salvation,
Let the wordsof my mouthand the meditationof my heartBe acceptablein Your sight,O LORD,my rockand my Redeemer.

"But for you who fearMy name,the sunof righteousnesswill risewith healingin its wings;and you will goforthand skipaboutlike calvesfrom the stall.
