For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. | It was not their own swords that won them the land, nor did their own arms make them victorious; rather, it was your right hand and your arm and the light of your face, because you loved them. |
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. | God is our refuge and our strength, a well-proved help in times of trouble. |

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. | Be still and acknowledge that I am God, exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth. |
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. | Have mercy on me, O God, in accord with your kindness; in your abundant compassion wipe away my offenses. Wash me completely from my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin. |
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. | Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a resolute spirit within me. |
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. | My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a contrite and humble heart, O God, you will not spurn. |
Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. | Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the one who sustains me. |
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. | Entrust your cares to the Lord, and he will uphold you; he will never allow the righteous to waver. |
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. | When I am terrified, I place my trust in you. |
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. | In God, whose word I praise, in God I place my trust and know no fear; what can people do to me? |
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory shine over all the earth. |
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. | For your kindness extends to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies. |
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. | But I will sing of your strength; when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness. For you have been my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. |
