Search for the Lord and for His strength;
seek His face always.

and will praise You more and more.

You hold my right hand.

I am resolved to obey Your statutes
to the very end.

I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing to my God as long as I live.

Don’t let your heart envy sinners;
instead, always fear the Lord.

Maintain love and justice,
and always put your hope in God.
