Out of straits I called on the Lord, the Lord answered and gave me room.
| الرَّبُّ مَعِي فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ بِي الْبَشَرُ؟ | ٦ 6 |
The Lord is mine; I am fearless. What can mere people do to me?

The Lord is mine, as my help: I shall feast my eyes on my foes.
| اللُّجُوءُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الاعْتِمَادِ عَلَى الْبَشَرِ. | ٨ 8 |
It is better to hide in the Lord than to trust in mortals.

It is better to hide in the Lord than to put any trust in princes.
| حَاصَرَتْنِي جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ، لَكِنِّي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Everywhere heathen swarmed round me; in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
| حَاصَرُونِي وَضَيَّقُوا عَلَيَّ، لَكِنِّي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
They swarmed, swarmed around me; in the name of the Lord I cut them down,
| حَاصَرُونِي كَالنَّحْلِ، (اشْتَعَلُوا) ثُمَّ انْطَفَأُوا كَنَارِ الشَّوْكِ. بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
they swarmed around me like bees, they blazed like a fire of thorns: in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
| دُفِعْتُ بِعُنْفٍ كَيْ أَسْقُطَ، لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ عَضَدَنِي. | ١٣ 13 |
Sore they pushed me, to make me fall; but the Lord gave me his help.
| الرَّبُّ قُوَّتِي وَتَرْنِيمِي وَقَدْ صَارَ لِي خَلاصاً. | ١٤ 14 |
The Lord is my strength and my song, and he is become my salvation.
| صَوْتُ هُتَافِ النَّصْرِ وَالْخَلاصِ فِي مَسَاكِنِ الأَبْرَارِ. يَمِينُ الرَّبِّ مُقْتَدِرَةٌ فِي فِعْلِهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Hark! In the tents of the righteous glad cries of victory are ringing. The hand of the Lord has wrought bravely,
| يَمِينُ الرَّبِّ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ. يَمِينُ الرَّبِّ مُقْتَدِرَةٌ فِي فِعْلِهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
the hand of the Lord is exalted, the hand of the Lord has wrought bravely.
| لَا أَمُوتُ بَلْ أَحْيَا وَأُذِيعُ أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
I shall not die: nay, I shall live, to declare the works of the Lord.
| تَأْدِيباً أَدَّبَنِي الرَّبُّ، وَإِلَى الْمَوْتِ لَمْ يُسْلِمْنِي. | ١٨ 18 |
Though the Lord has chastened me sore, he has not given me over to death. (The Procession arrives at the Temple)
| افْتَحُوا لِي أَبْوَابَ الْبِرِّ، فَأَدْخُلَ فِيهَا، وَأَشْكُرَ الرَّبَّ. | ١٩ 19 |
‘Open to me the gates of victory. I would enter therein and give thanks to the Lord.’ (The Welcome)
| هَذَا البَابُ هُوَ مَدْخَلُ الأَبْرَارِ إِلَى مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
‘This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous may enter therein;’

The stone which the builders despised is become the head-stone of the corner.
| مِنْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ كَانَ هَذَا، وَهُوَ مُدْهِشٌ فِي أَعْيُنِنَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
This has been wrought by the Lord; it is marvellous in our eyes.
| هَذَا هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَعَدَّهُ الرَّبُّ، فِيهِ نَبْتَهِجُ وَنَفْرَحُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
This day is the Lord’s own creation: in it let us joy and be glad.
| آهِ يَا رَبُّ خَلِّصْ. يَا رَبُّ اكْفُلْ لَنَا النَّجَاحَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
O Lord, save us, we pray, O Lord, prosper, we pray.
| مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. بَارَكْنَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Blessed the one who enters in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you.
| الرَّبُّ هُوَ اللهُ وَبِنُورِهِ أَضَاءَ لَنَا. ارْبِطُوا الذَّبِيحَةَ بِحِبَالٍ إِلَى زَوَايَا الْمَذْبَحِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The Lord is God, he has given us light. Wreathe the dance with boughs, till they touch the horns of the altar.

You are my God, I will thank you; O my God, I will exalt you.

Give thanks to the Lord for his goodness: his kindness endures forever.
