3 My lips praise youbecause your faithful loveis better than life itself!
4 So I will bless you as long as I’m alive;I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 I’m fully satisfied—as with a rich dinner.My mouth speaks praise with joy on my lips—
6 whenever I ponder you on my bed,whenever I meditate on youin the middle of the night—
7 because you’ve been a help to me and I shout for joy in the protection of your wings.
8 My whole being clings to you;your strong hand upholds me.
9 But what about those people who want to destroy me?Let them go into the bowels of the earth!
