May the LORD,
maker of heaven and earth,
bless you from Zion. (Psalms 134:3 (Tanakh))
You, God, know my folly;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
Lord, the Lord Almighty,
may those who hope in you
not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you
not be put to shame because of me. (Psalm 69:5-6 NIV)
