    the flock under his care.

    let them proclaim your power.

²² Arise, O God, and defend your cause.
    Remember how these fools insult you all day long.

¹⁷ I will bring honor to your name in every generation.
    Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.

    and constantly praise your name. Interlude
