Context of Psalms 118:5
3Oh let the house of Aaron say, “His mercy is everlasting.” 4Let those who fear the Lord say, “His mercy is everlasting.” From my distress I called upon the Lord; The Lord answered me and put me in an open space. 6The Lord is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me? 7The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me.
