² I will be filled with joy because of you.
    I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

¹⁸ Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord,
    that you alone are the Most High,
    supreme over all the earth.

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
    let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread your protection over them,
    that all who love your name may be filled with joy.

¹ It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
    to sing praises to the Most High.

¹⁷ I will thank the Lord because he is just;
    I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

¹⁷ Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
    and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
    and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
    and the cattle barns are empty,
¹⁸ yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
    I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

¹² May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord
    and praise his holy name!
