15. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are the people who know the joyful sound [who understand and appreciate the spiritual blessings symbolized by the feasts]; they walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!
16. In Your name they rejoice all the day, and in Your righteousness they are exalted.
17. For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment], and by Your favor our horn is exalted and we walk with uplifted faces!
18. For our shield belongs to the Lord, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19. Once You spoke in a vision to Your devoted ones and said, I have endowed one who is mighty [a hero, giving him the power to help–to be a champion for Israel]; I have exalted one chosen from among the people.
20. I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him, [Acts 13:22.]
21. With whom My hand shall be established and ever abide; My arm also shall strengthen him.
