6 With ADONAI on my side, I fear nothing -what can human beings do to me?
6 The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?
7 With ADONAI on my side as my help, I will look with triumph at those who hate me.
7 The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.
8 It is better to take refuge in ADONAI than to trust in human beings;
8 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.
9 better to take refuge in ADONAI than to put one's trust in princes.
9 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.
10 The nations all surrounded me; in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.
10 All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
11 They surrounded me on every side in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.
11 They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
12 They surrounded me like bees but were extinguished [as quickly] as a fire in thorns; in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.

13 You pushed me hard to make me fall, but ADONAI helped me.
13 I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.
14 Yah is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15 The sound of rejoicing and victory is heard in the tents of the righteous: "ADONAI's right hand struck powerfully!
15 The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
16 ADONAI's right hand is raised in triumph! ADONAI's right hand struck powerfully!"
16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
17 I will not die; no, I will live and proclaim the great deeds of Yah!
17 Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.
18 Yah disciplined me severely, but did not hand me over to death.
18 The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.
19 Open the gates of righteousness for me; I will enter them and thank Yah.
19 Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.

21 I am thanking you because you answered me; you became my salvation.
21 I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.

24 This is the day ADONAI has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.
24 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.
25 Please, ADONAI! Save us! Please, ADONAI! Rescue us!
25 Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of ADONAI. We bless you from the house of ADONAI.
