If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,\par\tab When men rose up against us;
All they that see me laugh me to scorn:\par\tab They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, {\i saying},
I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,\par\tab And he answereth me out of his holy hill. {\i Selah
Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:\par\tab Thy blessing be upon thy people. {\i Selah\par
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?\par\tab {\i How long} will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? {\i Selah
Stand in awe, and sin not:\par\tab Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. {\i Selah\par
As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me,\par\tab While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
My tears have been my food day and night,\par\tab While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
Saying, God hath forsaken him:\par\tab Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,\par\tab For the salvation of thine anointed;\par\tab Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked man,\par\tab Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. {\i Selah
God came from Teman,\par\tab And the Holy One from mount Paran. {\i Selah\par\tab His glory covered the heavens,\par\tab And the earth was full of his praise.
Thy bow was made quite bare;\par\tab The oaths to the tribes were a {\i sure} word. {\i Selah\par\tab Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
