To all who call on Him in truth (without guile).

In the howling wasteland of a wilderness;

And [You have] placed Your hand upon me.

You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

For I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire around her [protecting her from enemies], and I will be the glory in her midst.’”
