118:5  During times of trouble I called on the LORD. The LORD answered me [and] set me free [from all of them].
118:6  The LORD is on my side. I am not afraid. What can mortals do to me?

118:15  The sound of joyful singing and victory is heard in the tents of righteous people. The right hand of the LORD displays strength.
118:16  The right hand of the LORD is held high. The right hand of the LORD displays strength.
118:17  I will not die, but I will live and tell what the LORD has done.
118:18  The LORD disciplined me severely, but he did not allow me to be killed.
118:19  Open the gates of righteousness for me. I will go through them [and] give thanks to the LORD.
118:20  This is the gate of the LORD through which righteous people will enter.
118:21  I give thanks to you, because you have answered me. You are my savior.
118:22  The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
118:23  The LORD is responsible for this, and it is amazing for us to see.
118:24  This is the day the LORD has made. Let's rejoice and be glad today!
118:25  We beg you, O LORD, save us! We beg you, O LORD, give us success!
118:26  Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the LORD's house.

118:28  You are my God, and I give thanks to you. My God, I honor you highly.
118:29  Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his mercy endures forever.
