⁵ I called to the LORD in distress; ⓔ the LORD answered me and put me in a spacious place. [1] ⓕ

⁶ The LORD is for me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? ⓖ

⁷ The LORD is my helper, Therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me. ⓗ

⁸ It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. ⓘ
