|
7. How H4100 excellent H3368 is thy lovingkindness H2617 , O God H430 ! therefore the children H1121 of men H120 put their trust H2620 under the shadow H6738 of thy wings H3671 .
|
|

|
|
9. The fountain of life flows from you. Your light lets us see light.

|
|
10. Continue to love those who really know you, and do good to those who are true to you.
|
10. O continue H4900 thy lovingkindness H2617 unto them that know H3045 thee ; and thy righteousness H6666 to the upright H3477 in heart H3820 .
|
|
11. Don't let proud people trap me. Don't let the wicked force me to run away.

11. Let not H408 the foot H7272 of pride H1346 come against H935 me , and let not H408 the hand H3027 of the wicked H7563 remove H5110 me.
|
|
12. Put this on their grave markers: "Here fell the wicked. They were crushed. They will never stand up again."
|
12. There H8033 are the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 fallen H5307 : they are cast down H1760 , and shall not H3808 be able H3201 to rise H6965 .
