The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!
The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,
In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.
The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
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. I will say it again: Rejoice!
