Psalms 66:1

Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing.

Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

Praise Yahweh, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!

Let everything that has breath praise Yah! Praise Yah!

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
