 | Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God. |
 | Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. |
 | Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God. |
| Psalm 43:4 |

To the altar of God;
To God my exceeding joy.
