For David says concerning him, “‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. He who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God helps me; who will declare me guilty?

As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
