6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

The Lord is with mee: therefore I will not feare what man can doe vnto me.

7 The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.

The Lord is with mee among them that helpe me: therefore shall I see my desire vpon mine enemies.

14 The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.
