7  The Lord is my strength and ^vmy shield;

in him my heart ^wtrusts, and I am helped;

my heart exults,

and with my ^xsong I give thanks to him.

5  You have multiplied, O Lord my God,

your ^ewondrous deeds and your ^fthoughts toward us;

none can compare with you!

I will proclaim and tell of them,

yet they are ^gmore than can be told.

24  O Lord, how manifold are your works!

In ^xwisdom have you made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

25  Here is the sea, great and wide,

^ywhich teems with creatures innumerable,

living things both small and great.

26  There go the ships,

and ^zLeviathan, which you formed to ^aplay in it.¹

27  These ^ball look to you,

to ^cgive them their food in due season.

28  When you give it to them, they gather it up;

when you ^dopen your hand, they are filled with good things.
