But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.

Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me.

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were borm I set you apart.

Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us.

For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
