¹⁶ In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.

¹⁷ For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.

¹⁸ For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹ Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

²⁰ I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him:

²¹ With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

²² The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

²³ And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.

¹⁴ We have been satisfied in the morning with thy mercy; and we did exult and rejoice:

¹⁵ let us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days wherein thou didst afflict us, the years wherein we saw evil.
