1 With all my heart
I praise you, Lord.

and praise you for your love
and your faithfulness.
You were true to your word

than ever before.[b]

you answered my prayer
and gave me courage.[c]

you care for humble people,
and you keep a close watch
on everyone who is proud.

but you protect me
against my angry enemies.
With your own powerful arm
you keep me safe.

treat me with kindness.
Your love never fails.

Don't give up on us now![a]
