The counsel of Yahweh stands forever,
The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Our soul is patient for Yahweh;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us,
As we wait for You.
