5 F rom a tight place I called upon JAH; and JAH answered me and set me in a wide place.

6 T he LORD is for me; I will not fear what man can do unto me.

7 T he LORD takes my part with those that help me; therefore I shall see my desire upon those that hate me.

8 I t is better to wait upon the LORD than to wait upon man.

9 I t is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

10 A ll the nations compassed me about; but in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

11 T hey compassed me about; yea, they laid hold of me; but in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

12 T hey compassed me about like bees; they were quenched as the fire of thorns; for in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

13 T hou hast thrust at me with violence that I might fall, but the LORD helped me.

15 T he voice of singing and saving health is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

16 T he right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

18 J AH has chastened me sore, but he has not given me over unto death.

19 ¶ Open unto me the gates of righteousness; I will go in through them; I will praise JAH.

20 T his gate is of the LORD; the righteous shall enter in.

21 I will praise thee; for thou hast heard me and art become my saving health.

22 T he stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.

23 T his is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24 T his is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 S ave now, I beseech thee, O LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, cause us now to prosper.

26 B lessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD; from the house of the LORD we bless you.

28 T hou art my God, and I will praise thee; thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.
