By this I know that You are pleased with me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

I remember these things and pour out my soul within me. For I used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God, With a voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival.

The LORD will send His goodness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.

God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us The work that You did in their days, In the days of old.

You with Your own hand drove out the nations; Then You planted them; You afflicted the peoples, Then You let them go free.

Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And do not go out with our armies.

All day long my dishonor is before me And I am covered with my humiliation,

All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You, And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.

Yet You have crushed us in a place of jackals And covered us with deep darkness.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions.

The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The wealthy among the people will seek your favor.

The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

They will be brought with joy and rejoicing; They will enter into the King's palace.

The LORD of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire.

The LORD of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

Clap your hands, all you peoples; Shout to God with a voice of joy.

God has ascended with a shout, The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.
