A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say—
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered; give ear, all you far countries; strap on your armor and be shattered; strap on your armor and be shattered. Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us.
If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
