Psalms 118:5-9

118:5 In my distress I cried out to the Lord.

The Lord answered me and put me in a wide open place.

118:6 The Lord is on my side, I am not afraid!

What can people do to me?

118:7 The Lord is on my side as my helper.

I look in triumph on those who hate me.

118:8 It is better to take shelter in the Lord

than to trust in people.

118:9 It is better to take shelter in the Lord

than to trust in princes.
