8 It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to trust in princes. 10 All nations surrounded me; in the name of YHWH I surely cut them off. 11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me, and in the name of YHWH I surely cut them off! 12 They have surrounded me like bees, they have been extinguished as fire among thorns; and in the name of YHWH I surely cut them off! 13 You have severely thrust me that I might fall, and YHWH helped me. 14 My strength and song is YAH; and He has become to me salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of YHWH acts with strength. 16 The right hand of YHWH is exalted; the right hand of YHWH acts with strength.” 17 I will not die, but I will live, that I might recount the works of YAH. 18 Yah, chastened me severely, and to death He has not given me up. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them; I will give thanks to YAH. 20 This is the gate of YHWH; the righteous shall enter into it. 21 I thank You, for You have answered me, and You have become to me for salvation. 22 The stone the builders rejected has become as the head of the corner. 23 From YHWH this is; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day YHWH has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 I ask, O YHWH, save us now. I ask, O YHWH, send prosperity now! 26 Blessed is the one coming in the name of YHWH; we bless you⁺ from the house of YHWH. 27 YHWH is God, and He has given light to us! Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar! 28 You are my God, and I will give You thanks; my God, I will exalt You! 29 Give thanks to YHWH, for He is good; for His loving devotion is forever!
