O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!

You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.

May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.

And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.

O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.

Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.
