¹⁶ When your words came, I ate^(A) them;
    they were my joy and my heart’s delight,^(B)
for I bear your name,^(C)
    Lord God Almighty.

³ You have enlarged the nation^(A)
    and increased their joy;^(B)
they rejoice before you
    as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
    when dividing the plunder.^(C)

¹⁹ Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
    than to share plunder with the proud.
