5מִֽן־הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָּהּ עָנָנִי בַמֶּרְחָב יָֽהּIn distress I called on Yah; Yah answered me and brought me relief.Min-hametzar karati yah anani vamerchav yah

8טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהֹוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בָּאָדָֽםIt is better to take refuge in GOD than to trust in mortals;Tov lachasot bayhovah mibtocha baadam
