God

With ADONAI on my side as my help, I will look with triumph at those who hate me.

It is better to take refuge in ADONAI than to trust in human beings;

better to take refuge in ADONAI than to put one's trust in princes.

The nations all surrounded me; in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.

They surrounded me on every side in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.

They surrounded me like bees but were extinguished [as quickly] as a fire in thorns; in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.

You pushed me hard to make me fall, but ADONAI helped me.

Yah is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.

The sound of rejoicing and victory is heard in the tents of the righteous: "ADONAI's right hand struck powerfully!

ADONAI's right hand is raised in triumph! ADONAI's right hand struck powerfully!"

I will not die; no, I will live and proclaim the great deeds of Yah!

Yah disciplined me severely, but did not hand me over to death.

Open the gates of righteousness for me; I will enter them and thank Yah.

This is the gate of ADONAI; the righteous can enter it.

I am thanking you because you answered me; you became my salvation.

This has come from ADONAI, and in our eyes it is amazing.

This is the day ADONAI has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.

Please, ADONAI! Save us! Please, ADONAI! Rescue us!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of ADONAI. We bless you from the house of ADONAI.

ADONAI is God, and he gives us light. Join in the pilgrim festival with branches all the way to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I thank you. You are my God; I exalt you.

Give thanks to ADONAI; for he is good, for his grace continues forever.

(Alef) How happy are those whose way of life is blameless, who live by the Torah of ADONAI!

How happy are those who observe his instruction, who seek him wholeheartedly!

They do nothing wrong but live by his ways.
