Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

In giving them the heritage of the nations.

All his precepts are sure.

They are ^[c]done in truth and uprightness.
⁹ He hath sent redemption unto his people;
He hath commanded his covenant for ever:
Holy and reverend is his name.

His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.

His righteousness endureth for ever:
His horn shall be exalted with honor.

He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:
The desire of the wicked shall perish.
