Psalm

“I saw you and I knew you; I set you apart.

When you were in your mother’s womb

I knit you and stitched you a heart.”

Surely, YHWH is for us;

Surely, YHWH is for us

A bastion of strength.

He is concerned for them all and one.

He comforts the widow;

He keeps covenant with the wanderer.

“And how could I forget

what my hands wrought,”

says YHWH,

“what my mouth spoke,

and it came to be?”

“You, who my eyes saw

before the mountains were formed

or the seas were laid;

You, my betrothed,

whom I called by name—

my covenant I will not break.”

Surely YHWH is for us;

Surely YHWH is for us

A bastion of strength.

He will not repent concerning his word

Nor will he relent concerning his promise;

He will not turn back concerning

that which He has spoken.

Let all who hope in YHWH rejoice

and all who trust in our God shout for joy,

for surely his compassions never fail,

for his loving-kindness never ceases.
