The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.

It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.

All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

You have thrust hard at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

I will give thanks to You
because You have answered me
and have become my salvation.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.

You have commanded that Your precepts
be diligently kept.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

don’t let me wander from Your commands.

I have treasured Your word in my heart
so that I may not sin against You.

I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.

You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.

Take insult and contempt away from me,
for I have kept Your decrees.

Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.

I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

I have chosen the way of truth;
I have set Your ordinances before me.

I have been true to your unchanging word; O Lord, do not put me to shame.

I will go quickly in the way of your teaching, because you have given me a free heart.

Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.

Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Thy judgments are good.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.

So that I may have an answer for the man who would put me to shame; for I have faith in your word.

Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.

And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.

And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

My eyes grow weary
looking for what You have promised;
I ask, “When will You comfort me?”

I do not forget Your statutes.

The proud have dug pits for me, which is not after your law.

All Thy commands are faithfulness, With falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.

Give me life in accordance with Your faithful love,
and I will obey the decree You have spoken.

Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides.

Trembled from Thy fear hath my flesh, And from Thy judgments I have been afraid!

[Ayin] I have done what is right and just: leave me not to my oppressors.

Mine eyes have been consumed for Thy salvation. And for the saying of Thy righteousness.
