I was calling to Yahweh with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great.”
You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word.
On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.
I call upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.
“But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with loud shouts of joy; I will sing, and I will sing praises to Yahweh.
Yahweh is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.
¶I inquired of Yahweh, and He answered me, And delivered me from all that I dread.
This poor man called out, and Yahweh heard him And saved him out of all his troubles.
¶Oh send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy mountain And to Your dwelling places.
Call upon Me in the day of distress; I shall rescue you, and you will glorify Me.”
Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.
O Yahweh of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
¶Formerly You spoke in vision to Your holy ones, And said, “I have bestowed help to a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in his distress; I will rescue him and honor him.
Exalt Yahweh our God And worship at His holy mountain, For holy is Yahweh our God.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright, A shield to those who walk in integrity,
And it will be that before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
You have heard my voice, “Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help.”
“ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.
