118:5 In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free.

118:6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

118:7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.

118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

118:10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

118:11 They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

118:12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they died out as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

118:13 I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me.

118:14 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

118:15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD'S right hand has done mighty things!

118:16 The LORD'S right hand is lifted high; the LORD'S right hand has done mighty things!"

118:17 I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

118:18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

118:19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.

118:20 This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter.

118:21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.

118:22 The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;

118:23 the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

118:25 O LORD, save us; O LORD, grant us success.

118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.

118:27 The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine upon us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.

118:28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you.

118:29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
