⁵From straits I was in,

I called on the Lord;

He answered me with the Lord's relief.

⁷The Lord is for me,

Among those who help me,

So I shall look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

⁸It is better to seek refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in man.

⁹It is better to seek refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in nobles.

¹⁰All the Gentiles have surrounded me;

It is in the name of the Lord

That I will cut them off.

¹¹They are around me,

Indeed, they have surrounded me;

It is in the name of the Lord

That I will cut them off.

¹²They surrounded me like bees;

They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes.

It is in the name of the Lord

That I will cut them off.

¹³You have pushed hard at me

To the point of me falling,

But the Lord has helped me.

¹⁴My strength and melody is the Lord,

And he has become my salvation.

¹⁵There is the sound of shouting for joy, and salvation,

In the tents of the righteous;

The Lord's right hand is acting mightily.

¹⁶The Lord's right hand is exalted;

The Lord's right hand is acting mightily.

¹⁷I will not die,

For I will live,

And I will relate the works of the Lord.

¹⁸The Lord has disciplined me severely,

But he has not given me over to death.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness;

I will go through them.

I will give thanks to the Lord.

²⁰This is the gate to the Lord;

The righteous will enter through it.

²¹I will give thanks to you,

For you have answered me

And have become my salvation.

²⁴This is the day which the Lord has made;

Let us be glad and rejoice on it.

²⁵Please, O Lord, please save;

Please, O Lord, make us prosperous.

We bless you from the house of the Lord.

²⁷The Lord is God,

And he has given us light.

Bind the festival-day animal

With cords on the horns of the altar.

²⁸You are my God,

And I will give you thanks;

You are my God,

And I will exalt you.

²⁹Give thanks to the Lord,

For he is good,

For his kindness is age-abiding.
