3Your faithful love for me is better than life itself. So I will speak out to praise you. 4Yes, I will thank you for as long as I live. I will lift up my hands and I will pray to you. You make me very happy, better than a feast of good food. I will sing happy songs to praise you. 6When I lie on my bed, I think about you all through the night. 7You are the one who keeps me safe, like a bird protects its babies under its wings. So I sing happy songs.
