"Had it not beenthe LORDwhowas on our side," Let Israelnowsay,
Whatthenshall we sayto these things?IfGod[is] for us, who[is] againstus?
Thenmy enemieswill turnbackin the daywhen I call;ThisI know,that Godis for me.
Behold,Godis my helper;The Lordis the sustainerof my soul.
In my troubleI criedto the LORD,And He answeredme.
Ifthe LORDhad not beenmy help,My soulwould soonhave dweltin [the abode of] silence.
I will liftup my eyesto the mountains;From whereshall my helpcome?
Those who trustin the LORDAre as MountZion,which cannotbe movedbut abidesforever.
The LORDof hostsis with us; The Godof Jacobis our stronghold.Selah.
The LORDis my lightand my salvation;Whomshall I fear?The LORDis the defenseof my life;Whomshall I dread?
Unlessthe LORDbuildsthe house,They laborin vainwho buildit; Unlessthe LORDguardsthe city,The watchmankeepsawakein vain.
"Manytimesthey have persecutedme from my youthup," Let Israelnowsay,
Out of the depthsI have criedto You, O LORD.
How blessedis everyonewho fearsthe LORD,Who walksin His ways.
Behold,howgoodand howpleasantit is For brothersto dwelltogetherin unity!
When the LORDbroughtbackthe captiveones of Zion,We were like those who dream.
ThenMosesand the sonsof Israelsangthissongto the LORD,and said,"I will singto the LORD,for He is highlyexalted;The horseand its riderHe has hurledinto the sea.
Remember,O LORD,on David'sbehalf, Allhis affliction;
To You I liftup my eyes,O You who are enthronedin the heavens!
I was gladwhen they saidto me, "Let us goto the houseof the LORD."
Behold,blessthe LORD,allservantsof the LORD,Who serveby nightin the houseof the LORD!
O LORD,my heartis not proud,normy eyeshaughty;Nordo I involvemyself in greatmatters, Or in thingstoodifficultfor me.
"Ifthe Godof my father,the Godof Abraham,and the fearof Isaac,hadnot beenfor me, surelynowyou would have sentme awayempty-handed.Godhas seenmy afflictionand the toilof my hands,so He renderedjudgmentlastnight."
In God,[whose] wordI praise,In the LORD,[whose] wordI praise,
