¹ A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

³¹ What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God `is' for us, who `is' against us?

¹ A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

⁴ Lo, God `is' a helper to me, The Lord `is' with those supporting my soul,

¹ By David. Jehovah `is' my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah `is' the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

⁹ Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God `is' for me.

¹⁷ Unless Jehovah `were' a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.

⁶ Jehovah `is' for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

⁷ Jehovah `is' for me among my helpers, And I -- I look on those hating me.

¹ A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

⁵ Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,'

⁶ so that we do boldly say, `The Lord `is' to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'

⁹ Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.

¹⁰ Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!'

¹ A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night.

¹¹ Jehovah of hosts `is' with us, A tower for us `is' the God of Jacob! Selah.

¹ A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back `to' the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

¹ A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked.

¹ A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

¹ A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.
