5 In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.

Out of my distress I called upon the LORD: the LORD answered me [and set me] in a large place.

6 The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

7 The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.

The LORD is on my side among them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

8 It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

9 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.

10 All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

All nations compassed me about: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

11 Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

12 They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

13 Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.

Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.

The LORD is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

16 The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength.

The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.

18 The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.

20 This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.

This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.

21 I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

I will give thanks unto thee, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

22 The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.

The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.

23 This is the Lord’s doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.

This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.

Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

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

27 The Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us. Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs, even to the horn of the alter.

The LORD is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29 O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
