It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in people.

It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in the rich and powerful.
10 萬民圍繞我， 我靠耶和華的名必剿滅他們。
Even though all the heathen nations surrounded me, I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
11 他們環繞我，圍困我， 我靠耶和華的名必剿滅他們。
They completely surrounded me, but even so I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
12 他們如同蜂子圍繞我， 好像燒荊棘的火，必被熄滅； 我靠耶和華的名，必剿滅他們。
Like a swarm of bees they attacked, but their attack died out as quickly as burning thorn twigs. I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
13 你推我，要叫我跌倒， 但耶和華幫助了我。
They tried as hard as they could to kill me, but the Lord helped me.
14 耶和華是我的力量，是我的詩歌； 他也成了我的拯救。
The Lord is my strength, and the one I sing about. He is the one who saves me.
15 在義人的帳棚裏，有歡呼拯救的聲音； 耶和華的右手施展大能。
Songs of celebration and victory come from the tents of the faithful. The Lord's powerful hand has done amazing things!

17 我必不致死，仍要存活， 並要傳揚耶和華的作為。
I'm not going to die. In fact I'm going to live, and let people know what the Lord has done.
18 耶和華雖嚴嚴地懲治我， 卻未曾將我交於死亡。
Even though the Lord punished me severely, he did not let me die.
19 給我敞開義門； 我要進去稱謝耶和華！
Open the gates of the faithful for me so I can go in and thank the Lord.
20 這是耶和華的門； 義人要進去！
These are the gates of the Lord where God's faithful people enter.
21 我要稱謝你，因為你已經應允我， 又成了我的拯救！
I want to thank you for answering me and for being the one who saves me.
22 匠人所棄的石頭 已成了房角的頭塊石頭。
The stone rejected by the builders has turned out to be the chief cornerstone.
23 這是耶和華所做的， 在我們眼中看為希奇。
The Lord has done this, and it looks wonderful to us!

May the one who comes in the power of the Lord by blessed! We bless you from the house of the Lord!
27 耶和華是上帝； 他光照了我們。 理當用繩索把祭牲拴住， 牽到壇角那裏。
The Lord is God, and his goodness shines on us. Branches in hand, start the procession up towards the altar.

You are my God, and I will thank you! You are my God, and I will praise you!
29 你們要稱謝耶和華，因他本為善； 他的慈愛永遠長存！
