124 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

⁹ When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

⁴ Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

120 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

⁵ Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶ So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

⁹ Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

¹⁰ Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

¹⁷ Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
