118:5

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.

118:6

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

118:7

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

118:11

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:12

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:13

118:14

The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

118:15

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

118:19

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

118:20

This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

118:21

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

118:22

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

118:23

This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

118:24

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

118:25

Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

118:26

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

118:27

God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

118:28

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

118:29

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
