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