Psalm
R. Happy the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all human beings. R.
From where he sits enthroned he watches all the inhabitants of the earth — he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds. R.
Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield. Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. R.
