The LORD is my helper; I shall see my desire upon my enemies.

It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man;

They beset me on every side; But in the name of the LORD I destroyed them.

The LORD is my glory and my song; For to him I owe my salvation.

The voice of joy and salvation is in the habitations of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly;
16 Yehowa ƒe nuɖusi le dzi bobobo! Yehowa ƒe nuɖusi wɔ nu dzɔatsuwo!”
The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.”
17 Nyemaku o, ke boŋ manɔ agbe, eye maɖe gbeƒã nu siwo Yehowa wɔ.
I shall not die, but live, And declare the deeds of the LORD.

I praise thee that thou hast heard me, And hast been my salvation.
22 Kpe si xɔtulawo gbe la, eyae va zu dzogoedzikpe.
“The stone which the builders rejected Hath become the chief corner-stone.
23 Yehowae wɔ esia, eye wònye nukunu le míaƒe ŋkume.
This is the LORD'S doing; It is marvellous in our eyes!
24 Esia nye ŋkeke si Yehowa wɔ, mina míakpɔ dzidzɔ, atso aseye le eme.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his kindness endureth for ever!
