118:10 All the nations surrounded me, but I defeated them in the name of the Lord.
118:11 They surrounded me on every side, but with the Lord’s power I defeated them.
118:12 They surrounded me like a swarm of bees, but they died as quickly as thorns burn. By the Lord’s power, I defeated them.

118:14 The Lord gives me strength and a song. He has saved me.

118:18 The Lord has taught me a hard lesson, but he did not let me die.
118:19 Open for me the Temple gates. Then I will come in and thank the Lord.
118:20 This is the Lord’s gate; only those who are good may enter through it.
118:21 Lord, I thank you for answering me. You have saved me.
