17 The Lord is just in all his ways,
holy in his works all.
18 He’s near to all that call on him,
in truth that on him call.
19 He will accomplish the desire
of those that do him fear:
he also will deliver them,
and he their cry will hear.

20 The Lord preserves all who him love,
that nought can them annoy:
but he all those that wicked are
will utterly destroy.
21 My mouth the praises of the Lord
shall constantly proclaim;
and let all flesh for ever give
praise to his holy name.
