118:11  They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
118:12  They surrounded me like bees; they blazed like a fire of thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

118:16  the right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.’
118:17  I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord.
118:18  The Lord has punished me severely, but he did not give me over to death.
118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.
118:20  This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it.
118:21  I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation.
118:22  The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
118:23  This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
118:24  This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
118:25  Save us, we beseech you, O Lord! O Lord, we beseech you, give us success!
118:26  Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord.
118:27  The Lord is God, and he has given us light. Bind the festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the altar.
118:28  You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God, I will extol you.
118:29  O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever.
