Praise the Lord, all you nations! Applaud him, all you foreigners!

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

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

All the nations surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

This is the Lord’s work. We consider it amazing!

This is the day the Lord has brought about. We will be happy and rejoice in it.

I know, Lord, that your regulations are just. You disciplined me because of your faithful devotion to me.

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

ק (Qof) I cried out with all my heart, “Answer me, O Lord! I will observe your statutes.”

See how I love your precepts! O Lord, revive me with your loyal love!

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried out to the Lord and he answered me.

I said, “O Lord, rescue me from those who lie with their lips and those who deceive with their tongue.

The Lord will protect you from all harm; he will protect your life.

The Lord will protect you in all you do, now and forevermore.

For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God I will pray for you to prosper.

Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor! For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.

if the Lord had not been on our side, when men attacked us,

Yes, sons are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.

A song of ascents. How blessed is every one of the Lord’s loyal followers, each one who keeps his commands!
