English term or phrase: You are the daughter in whom God is well placed.

Not certain; however, this could be from the Bible (Old or New Testament) or from another ancient religious book.

I heard this quote on a television show and would like to see it in Latin. (If it is not too wordy, I'd like to put it on the pendant for a necklace.)

Notes to answerer

Asker: I appreciate your getting back to me so quickly. I, too, cannot find this sentence in any Bible. I do like the sound of it in English and in Latin, even if it wasn't drawn from a text!

Explanation:
This sounds like a paraphrase of Matthew 3:17, where a voice from heaven says about Jesus, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"--in the Latin Vulgate, "Hic est filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui."

I tried to recall an earlier mistaken answer, but don't know how!
