5 Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me [and set me] in a large place.
From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.
6 Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?
Jehovah [is] for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.
7 Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.
Jehovah [is] for me among my helpers, And I — I look on those hating me.
8 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man.
Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,
9 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes.
Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But Jehovah helped me.
Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.
14 Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation.
My strength and song [is] Jah, And He is to me for salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.
16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah.
I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,
18 Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death.
Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.
Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them — I thank Jah.
20 This is the gate of Jehovah; The righteous shall enter into it.
This [is] the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.
21 I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation.
I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner.
A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.
23 This is Jehovah’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes.
From Jehovah hath this been, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,
24 This is the day which Jehovah hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This [is] the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.
25 Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah: O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah: We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
Blessed [is] he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah,
27 Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
God [is] Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
My God Thou [art], and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.
29 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness!
