Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer and refuse his mercy.
“You who fear the Lord, give praise! All descendants of Jacob, give honor; show reverence, all descendants of Israel!
Blessed be the Lord, marvelously he showed to me his mercy in a fortified city.
Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my iniquities.
Confess the power of God, whose majesty protects Israel, whose power is in the sky.
