Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing:
then said they among the heathen,
The LORD hath done great things for them.

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,
we were like them that dream.

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,
the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity:
but peace shall be upon Israel.

Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good,
and to them that are upright in their hearts.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;
lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
so the LORD is round about his people
from henceforth even for ever.

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion,
which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.

Blessed be the LORD,
who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
the stream had gone over our soul:
Then the proud waters
had gone over our soul.
