Psalms 118:5-18

5Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah:Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.6Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:What can man do unto me?7Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:Therefore shall I seemy desireupon them that hate me.8It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man.9It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes.10All nations compassed me about:In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.13Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;But Jehovah helped me.14Jehovah is my strength and song;And he is become my salvation.15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.17I shall not die, but live,And declare the works of Jehovah.18Jehovah hath chastened me sore;But he hath not given me over unto death.
