c Heb YahThe LORD answered me and set me in a large place. | |
6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me? | |
7 The LORD is for me among those who help me;
Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me. | |
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in man. | |
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in princes. | |
10 All nations surrounded me;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. | |
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. | |
12 They surrounded me like bees;
They were extinguished as a fire of thorns;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. | |
13 You pushed me violently so that Id Or fellwas falling,
But the LORD helped me. | |
14 e Heb YahThe LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation. | |
15 The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. | |
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. | |
17 I will not die, but live,
And tell of the works off Heb Yahthe LORD. | |
18 g Heb YahThe LORD has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death. | |
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks toh Heb Yahthe LORD. | |
20 This is the gate of the LORD;
The righteous will enter through it. | |
21 I shall give thanks to You, for You have answered me,
And You have become my salvation. | |
22 The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone. | |
23 This isi Lit from the Lordthe LORD’S doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes. | |
24 This is the day which the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. | |
25 O LORD, do save, we beseech You;
O LORD, we beseech You, do send prosperity! | |
26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD;
We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. | |
27 The LORD is God, and He has given us light;
Bind the festival sacrifice with cordsj Lit untoto the horns of the altar. | |
28 You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, I extol You. | |
29 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting. | |
