10 The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory. Psalm 65 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A song of David.
The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee `as' a bird to your mountain;
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
