Certainly you reward the godly, Lord. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor.
Praise the Lord! How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands.
He will bless his loyal followers, both young and old.
They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. The Lord’s right hand conquers,
Turn toward me and extend mercy to me, as you typically do to your loyal followers.
The Lord gives his people strength; the Lord grants his people security.
But you, Lord, are a shield that protects me; you are my glory and the one who restores me.
The Lord delivers; you show favor to your people. (Selah)
An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.
You are my hiding place; you protect me from distress. You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance. (Selah)
Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Exalt the one who rides on the clouds! For the Lord is his name! Rejoice before him!
For the Lord God is our sovereign protector. The Lord bestows favor and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.
