How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.

O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.

You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.

I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.

Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.

For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.
