Psalm 89:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 Blessed[a] are the people who know how to acclaim you, O Lord,
who walk in the light of your countenance.
17 In your name they rejoice all day long,
and they exult in your righteousness.
18 [b]You are the strength in which they glory,
and by your kindness our horn[c] is exalted.
