"Because of [the] oppression of [the] afflicted, because of [the] groaning of [the] poor, now I will rise up," Yahweh says. "I shall put [them] in [the] safety [for which] they long."

Now they surround us at our [every] step. They {intend} {to pin} [me] to the ground.

Now I know that Yahweh will help his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the victorious power of his right hand.

And now my head will be high over my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

I was a youth, but I am [now] old; yet I have not seen [the] righteous forsaken or his children {begging for} bread.

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is for you.

"A ruinous thing is poured out on him, and [now] that he lies down, he will not rise up again."

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear [you] apart, and there [will be] none to deliver.

O God, you have taught me from my youth, and up to now I have proclaimed your wonderful deeds.

And now its carved works altogether they have smashed with axe and hammer.

Let the name of Yahweh be blessed, from now until forever.

[It is] we, we will bless Yah from now until forever. Praise Yah!

Before I was afflicted, I was going astray, but now I heed your word.

Yahweh will protect your going out and your coming in from now until forever.

[As] mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so Yahweh [is] round about his people, from now until forever.

O Israel, hope in Yahweh from now until forever.
