5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; For great is Yahweh's glory.
6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; But the proud, he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands.
