1Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),2Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,3Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,4Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,5Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.6Blessed is Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.7Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

A Song of the Ascents.1Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved -- to the age it abideth.2Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.3For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.4Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.5As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

A Song of the Ascents.1In Jehovah's turning back to the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.2Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.'3Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.4Turn again, O Jehovah, to our captivity, As streams in the south.5Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,6Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
