Let Israel say,</br>:“Because his loyalty is forever”.</br></br>:3. Let the house of Aaron say,</br>:“Because his loyalty is forever”.</br></br>:4. Let those who fear YHWH say,</br>:“Because his loyalty is forever”.</br></br>:5. From the tight place I cried out to Yah.</br>:Yah answered me with spaciousness.</br></br>:6. YHWH is for me. I shall not fear.</br>:What can man do to me?</br></br>:7. YHWH is for me as my helper,</br>:and I shall look in triumph upon those who hate me.</br></br>:8. It is better to take refuge in YHWH</br>:than to trust in man.</br></br>:9. It is better to take refuge in YHWH</br>:than to trust in noblemen.</br></br>:10. All nations surrounded me.</br>:“With the name of YHWH, yes, I shall drive them away!”</br></br>:11. They surrounded me, indeed they surrounded me.</br>:“With the name of YHWH, yes, I shall drive them away!”</br></br>:12. They surrounded me like bees.</br>:They burned up like a fire of thorns.</br>:“With the name of YHWH, yes, I shall drive them away!”</br></br>:13. You pushed me down hard so that I was falling,</br>:but YHWH helped me.</br></br>:14. Yah is my strength and song</br>:and he has become my salvation.</br></br>:15. A voice of rejoicing and salvation</br>:is in the tents of the righteous:</br>:“The right hand of YHWH does valiantly!</br></br>:16. The right hand of YHWH exalts!</br>:The right hand of YHWH does valiantly!”</br></br>:17. I shall not die, but I shall live,</br>:and declare the deeds of Yah.</br></br>:18. Yah disciplined me hard,</br>:but he has not given me over to death.</br></br>:19. Open the gates of righteousness for me.</br>:I will enter through them. I will give thanks to Yah.</br></br>:20. This is the gate of YHWH.</br>:The righteous enter through it.</br></br>:21. I thank you for you have answered me</br>:and become my salvation.</br></br>:22. The stone that the builders rejected</br>:has become the top of the corner.</br></br>:23. This has been from YHWH;</br>:it is extraordinary in our eyes!</br></br>:24. This is the day that YHWH has made.</br>:Let us be glad and rejoice in it.</br></br>:25. Please, YHWH, grant salvation, please!</br>:Please, YHWH, grant success, please!</br></br>:26. Blessed is he who comes in the name of YHWH.</br>:We bless you from the house of YHWH.</br></br>:27. YHWH is God and he has made his light shine on us.</br>:Bind the festival sacrifice with cords,</br>:up to the horns of the altar!</br></br>:28. You are my God and I shall give thanks to you.</br>:You are my God. I shall exalt you.</br></br>:29. Give thanks to YHWH because he is good,</br>:because his loyalty is forever.</br>e is good,
