5Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.
6The Lord is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
7The Lord is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
8It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put confidence in man.
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put confidence in princes.
10All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord, I cut them off.
11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of the Lord I indeed cut them off.
12They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of the Lord I cut them off.
13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but the Lord helped me.
14Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.
15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16The right hand of the Lord is exalted! The right hand of the Lord does valiantly!"
17I will not die, but live, and declare the works of Yah.
18Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah.
20This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter into it.
21I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.
22The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
23This is the Lord's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
25Save us now, we beg you, Lord! Lord, we beg you, send prosperity now.
26Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27The Lord is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
29Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

2Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
9It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
10All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
16The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
18The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
