and do according to all the foreigner asks You for.

for the Lord has a case
against the inhabitants of the land:
There is no truth, no faithful love,

my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my mountain where I seek refuge,

my God, the rock of my salvation.’

Serve him

Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.
