“Here is the man
who would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”[a](A)

But I am like a flourishing olive tree
in the house of God;(B)
I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.(C)
I will praise You forever for what You have done.
In the presence of Your faithful people,
I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good.(D)
