The words and promises of the LORD are pure words, Like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.

The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the LORD will be exalted and safe.

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices; My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.

Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For I trust in You. Teach me the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You [and only You] I wait [expectantly] all the day long.

Remember, O LORD, Your [tender] compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old.

But those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.

Man’s steps are ordered and ordained by the LORD. How then can a man [fully] understand his way?

Let integrity and uprightness protect me, For I wait [expectantly] for You.

The LORD is the portion of my inheritance, my cup [He is all I need]; You support my lot.
