and protect what your right hand has planted
the son of man whom you yourself made strong.

The LORD's are the earth and its fullness;
the world and those who dwell in it.
For he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.

One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
who desires not what is vain.

a reward from God his savior.
