3 Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together. 

4 I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. 

5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. 

6 In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. 

7 For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

– Seek God in a different way
