The Lord is on my side, I am not afraid! What can people do to me?

When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me. Foreigners are powerless before me;

Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.

The Lord is on my side as my helper. I look in triumph on those who hate me.

The Lord gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer.”

I will give you thanks, for you answered me, and have become my deliverer.

Your statutes have been my songs in the house where I live.

This has been my practice, for I observe your precepts.

May your loyal followers turn to me, those who know your rules.

The wicked prepare to kill me, yet I concentrate on your rules.

I absolutely hate them, they have become my enemies!

As for me, I will sing about your strength; I will praise your loyal love in the morning. For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble.

Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men spread a net by the path; they set traps for me. (Selah)

It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land.

They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the Lord helped me.

The Lord repaid me for my godly deeds; he rewarded my blameless behavior.

You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me.

The one true God completely vindicates me; he makes nations submit to me.
