[A song of ascents.] In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me:

[A song of ascents.] I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from?

[A Davidic song of ascents.] I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."

[A song of ascents.] I lift my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

[A Davidic song of ascents.] If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say--

[A song of ascents.] Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.

[A song of ascents.] When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

[A Solomonic song of ascents.] Unless the LORD builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the LORD watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain.

[A song of ascents.] How happy is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways!

[A song of ascents.] Since my youth they have often attacked me-- let Israel say--

[A song of ascents.] Out of the depths I call to You, LORD!

[A Davidic song of ascents.] LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I do not get involved with things too great or too difficult for me.

[A song of ascents.] LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured,

[A Davidic song of ascents.] How good and pleasant it is when brothers can live together!

[A song of ascents.] Now praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who stand in the LORD's house at night!

[Davidic.] The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom should I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom should I be afraid?

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life.

Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me.

The LORD is for me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

With the LORD for me as my helper, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD. They said: I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; He has thrown the horse and its rider into the sea.

Band together, peoples, and be broken; pay attention, all you distant lands; prepare for war, and be broken; prepare for war, and be broken.

Devise a plan; it will fail. Make a prediction; it will not happen. For God is with us.

What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.

Therefore, we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
