⁷ “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

³ You will keep in perfect peace
    all who trust in you,
    all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
⁴ Trust in the Lord always,
    for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

⁸ Taste and see that the Lord is good.
    Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!

⁴ Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord,
    who have no confidence in the proud
    or in those who worship idols.

¹ Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
    they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

²⁰ Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
    those who trust the Lord will be joyful.

¹² O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
    what joy for those who trust in you.

⁵ But joyful are those who have the God of Israel^[a] as their helper,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.

¹² Submit to God’s royal son,^[a] or he will become angry,
    and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
    But what joy for all who take refuge in him!
