But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his1 wickedness.”

And strengthened himself in his1 wickedness.”

I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it1 is good.
Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it1 is good.
