6The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

6Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?

6Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.

7Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I seemy desireupon them that hate me.

7The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

7Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I seemy desireupon them that hate me.

9By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.

10All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

10All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.

10All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

10With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.

22The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner.

22The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

22Remove from me reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.

23This is Jehovah’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes.

23This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

23This is Jehovah’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes.

23For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
