11 You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.
See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;
Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.
Every word of God is tested: he is a breastplate to those who put their faith in him.
But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.
