^(B)My ^[a]horn is exalted in Yahweh;
My mouth ^[b]speaks boldly against my enemies,
Because ^(C)I am glad in Your salvation.
^2 (D)There is no one holy like Yahweh;
Indeed, ^(E)there is no one besides You,
^(F)Nor is there any rock like our God.

^(G)Let arrogance not come out of your mouth;
^(H)For Yahweh is a God of knowledge,
^(I)And with Him actions are weighed.
^4 (J)The bows of the mighty are shattered,
^(K)But those who stumble gird on strength.
⁵ Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,
But those who were hungry cease to hunger.
^(L)Even the barren gives birth to seven,
But ^(M)she who has many children languishes.
^6 (N)Yahweh puts to death and makes alive;
^(O)He brings down to Sheol and raises up.
^7 (P)Yahweh makes poor and rich;
^(Q)He brings low; He also exalts.
^8 (R)He raises the poor from the dust;
^(S)He exalts the needy from the ash heap
^(T)To make them sit with nobles,
And inherit a seat of glory;
^(U)For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s,
And He set the world on them.
^9 (V)He keeps the feet of His holy ones,
^(W)But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness,
^(X)For not by power shall a man prevail.
^10 (Y)Those who contend with Yahweh will be dismayed;
^(Z)Against them He will thunder in the heavens;
^(AA)Yahweh will render justice to the ends of the earth,
^(AB)And He will give strength to His king,
^(AC)And He will exalt the ^[c]horn of His anointed.”
