1 I will praise the lord at all times.I will constantly speak his praises.
2 I will boast only in the lord;let all who are helpless take heart.
3 Come, let us tell of the lord’s greatness;let us exalt his name together.
4 I prayed to the lord, and he answered me.He freed me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
6 In my desperation I prayed, and the lord listened;he saved me from all my troubles.
7 For the angel of the lord is a guard;he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
