5 In my distress I called upon Yah,
and in relief Yah answered me.
6 Yahweh is for me, I will not fear,
what can man do to me?
7 Yahweh is for me, with my helpers,
I will see to it with my haters.
8 Better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to trust in man.

than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations have surrounded me,
but in the name of Yahweh I cut them off.
11 They have surrounded and surrounded me,
but in the name of Yahweh I cut them off.
12 They have surrounded me like bees,
they are quenched like the fire of thorns,
but in the name of Yahweh I cut them off.
13 Surely you have thrust at me
to make me fall,
but Yahweh has helped me.

and he is for me for salvation.
15 The voices of rejoicing and salvation
are in the tents of the righteous.
16 The right hand of Yahweh
brings victory,
the right hand of Yahweh is exalted.
The right hand of Yahweh brings victory,
17 I will not die, for I will live,
and declare the works of Yah.
18 Surely Yah has chastened me,
but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates
of the Righteous One,
I will go into them, thanks to Yah.
20 This is the gate of Yahweh,
the righteous will go into it.
21 I will give thanks to you,
for you have answered me,
and you shall be for me for salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected,
has become the Chief Cornerstone.
23 This is the doing of Yahweh,
it is wonderful in our eyes.
24 This is the day Yahweh has made,
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O Yahweh, save now!
O Yahweh, prosper now!
26 Blessed is he who comes
in the name of Yahweh!
We bless you from the house of Yahweh!
27 Yahweh is God, he shines upon us.
Bind the sacrifice with cords,
upon the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God,
and I give you thanks.
My God, I exalt you.
