¹¹ You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.

⁷ Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.

³ I give praise to my God at every memory of you,

¹³ My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.

¹⁴ I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.

¹⁵ My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

¹⁷ How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!

¹⁸ If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.

¹ <A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.> It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

² To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

³ On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

² Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.

⁶ Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

⁷ Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸ They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

⁹ Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.

¹³ My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.

¹⁴ I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.

¹⁵ My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

¹⁷ How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!

² My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.

²⁵ Strength and self-respect are her clothing; she is facing the future with a smile.

²⁶ Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue.

²⁷ She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.

⁶ You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.

⁴ I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

⁴ Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am.

⁵ You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

⁶ Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

⁴⁵ Happy will she be who had faith that the things which the Lord has said to her will be done.

⁴ One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.

³¹ The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.

⁵ For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

¹ Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

³⁰ Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised.

¹⁰ I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.

⁷ I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> Praise be to the God of my strength, teaching my hands the use of the sword, and my fingers the art of fighting:

² He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people.

³ Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?

⁶ Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.

¹⁴ But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

³ But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.

⁹ But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

¹⁰ I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.

¹¹ Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.

¹² So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.

³ I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.

²⁴ This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.
