7I am wonderstruck beholding the wonder of Your Almighty Creative Power.

8I seek Your Sanctuary - I am Your slave; if it is Your Will, I shall be emancipated.

9The treasure is in Your Hands; according to Your Will, You bestow it.

10One, upon whom You have bestowed Your Mercy, is blessed with the Lord's Name.
