You are worthy of our praise, O God.
May your people praise you forever,
    may they praise you with pure hearts.
¹⁶ I praise you because you have made me glad;

    and my worst fears did not come true.
¹⁷ You deserve our praise, O Lord;

    the only children of their parents.
Now, grant them your mercy and protection.
Let them live out their lives in happiness and love.
