6 上主偕同我,我不怕什麼,世人對待我,究竟能如何?
The Lord is for me; I will not fear: what can a man do unto me?
7 上主偕同我,祂作我的助佑,我必看見我的仇人受辱。

My strength and song is the Lord, and he is become my salvation.
15 在義人居住的帳幕中,響起了勝利的歡呼聲:上主的右手大顯威能,
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doth valiantly.
The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doth valiantly.
I shall not die, but I shall live, and relate the works of the Lord.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them. I will give thanks unto the Lord.
20 正義的門就是上主的門,惟獨義人才得進入此門。
This is the gate which belongeth unto the Lord, the righteous shall enter thereby.

29 請您們向上主讚頌,因為祂是美善寬仁,祂的仁慈永遠常存。
Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness.
