¹⁵ Yes, joyful are those who live like this!
    Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.

¹² What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
    whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

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

²⁹ How blessed you are, O Israel!
    Who else is like you, a people saved by the Lord?
He is your protecting shield
    and your triumphant sword!
Your enemies will cringe before you,
    and you will stomp on their backs!”

⁴ What joy for those you choose to bring near,
    those who live in your holy courts.
What festivities await us
    inside your holy Temple.

¹⁵ Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship,
    for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
