Know that GOD keeps the faithful close; GOD hears when I call out.

So tremble, and sin no more; ponder it on your bed, and sigh. Selah.

Many say, “O for good days!” Bestow Your favor on us, O ETERNAL One.

נָתַ֣תָּה שִׂמְחָ֣ה בְלִבִּ֑י מֵעֵ֬ת דְּגָנָ֖ם וְתִירוֹשָׁ֣ם רָֽבּוּ׃

You put joy into my heart when their grain and wine show increase.

בְּשָׁל֣וֹם יַחְדָּו֮ אֶשְׁכְּבָ֢ה וְאִ֫ישָׁ֥ן כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהֹוָ֣ה לְבָדָ֑ד לָ֝בֶ֗טַח תּוֹשִׁיבֵֽנִי׃ {פ}
