5 I called YAH from the narrow place, YAH answered me in a broad place.

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place.

6 YHWH [is] for me, I do not fear what man does to me.

The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do to me?

7 YHWH [is] for me among my helpers, And I look on those hating me.

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

8 Better to take refuge in YHWH, Than to trust in man,

10 All nations have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

All nations encompassed me: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

11 They have surrounded me, Indeed, they have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

They encompassed me; yes, they encompassed me: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

12 They surrounded me as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

13 You have severely thrust me to fall, And YHWH has helped me.

Thou hast violently thrust at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

14 YAH is my strength and song, And He is to me for salvation.

The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

15 A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.

17 I do not die, but live, And recount the works of YAH,

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

18 YAH has severely disciplined me, And has not given me up to death.

The LORD hath chastened me severely: but he hath not given me over to death.

19 Open gates of righteousness to me, I enter into them—I thank YAH.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter them, [and] I will praise the LORD:

20 This [is] the gate to YHWH, The righteous enter into it.

This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

21 I thank You, for You have answered me, And are to me for salvation.

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

22 A stone the builders refused Has become head of a corner.

23 This has been from YHWH, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,

This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] wonderful in our eyes.

24 This [is] the day YHWH has made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Ah, now, O YHWH, please save, Ah, now, O YHWH, please prosper.

Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26 Blessed [is] He who is coming In the Name of YHWH, We blessed you from the house of YHWH,

Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

27 God [is] YHWH, and He gives light to us, Direct the festal-sacrifice with cords, To the horns of the altar.

God [is] the LORD, who hath shown us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, [even] to the horns of the altar.

28 You [are] my God, and I confess You, My God, I exalt You.

Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art] my God, I will exalt thee.

29 Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!

O give thanks to the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
