Please Lord, deliver! Please Lord, grant us success!

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

Let Israel say, “Yes, his loyal love endures!”

May your loyal love console me, as you promised your servant.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people,

Let the family of Aaron say, “Yes, his loyal love endures!”

Let the loyal followers of the Lord say, “Yes, his loyal love endures!”

O Lord, please accept the freewill offerings of my praise! Teach me your regulations!

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say, “May there be peace in you!”

A song of ascents. “Since my youth they have often attacked me,” let Israel say.

May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives!

Carefully consider this, you who reject God! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you.

O God, invincible warrior, come back! Look down from heaven and take notice! Take care of this vine,

A song of ascents, by David. “If the Lord had not been on our side” – let Israel say this! –
