Happy are the people the Lord has chosen as His own
Ring out your joy to the Lord O you just
for praise is fitting for loyal hearts
they are happy, whose God is the Lord
the people He has chosen as His own
The Lord looks on those who revere Him
on those who hope in His love
to rescue their souls from death
to keep them alive in famine
Our soul is waiting for the Lord
the Lord is our help and our shield
may Your love be upon us, O Lord
as we place all our hope in You
Blessed are you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for revealing the mysteries of the kingdom to mere children
