I see in Yahweh
an eternal Rock, my refuge.
1
My Yahweh is the One who gives me a steadfast heart.
When I place my trust in Him,
the Lord protects me day by day.
He keeps me in perfect peace,
and I remain safely in His hands.
2
Even if the hills were removed
and the great mountains were shaken from their places,
His mercy toward me would never move away.
His covenant of peace will remain firm forever.
3
Even when His anger burns, it lasts only for a moment;
but His favor lasts throughout our lifetime.
Weeping may remain through the night,
but with the dawn comes a morning of joyful celebration.
4
He does not treat us according to our sins
or repay us according to all our wrongs.
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His mercy toward those who honor Him.
5
He will not completely break the one who is already crushed,
nor will He put out a flickering flame, even when it gives only a little smoke.
He will carry out His purpose
until the day justice is victorious,
and He will establish righteousness on the earth.
6
He will keep me securely in His hands
and will not let me slip away.
And in His glorious presence,
may I remain forever in complete, spotless joy.
May all glory belong to Him forever. Amen.
