Psalms

Psalm 89:15–18

¹⁵Blessed are those who know the joyful sound,

who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.

¹⁶They rejoice in Your name all day long,

and in Your righteousness they exult.

¹⁷For You are the glory of their strength,

and by Your favor our horn is exalted.

¹⁸Surely our shield belongs to the LORD,

and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
