Psalms 118:3-19
-
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
-
4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
-
5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
-

11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

-
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
