The godly will rejoice in the Lord and take shelter in him. All the morally upright will boast.
The righteous see their destruction and rejoice; the innocent mock them scornfully, saying,
In the Lord I have taken shelter. How can you say to me, “Flee to a mountain like a bird!
His descendants will be powerful on the earth; the godly will be blessed.
Protect me and deliver me! Please do not let me be humiliated, for I have taken shelter in you!
Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!
He gave me reason to sing a new song, praising our God. May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the Lord!
The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out; they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy.
But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!
