    Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
    They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.
    In Your name they rejoice all day long,
    And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
    For You are the glory of their strength,
    And in Your favor our horn is exalted.
    For our shield belongs to the Lord,
    And our king to the Holy One of Israel. (Psalm 89:15-18)
