Let those who honor the Lord say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
5 I called vpon the Lord in trouble, and the Lord heard me, and set me at large.

They completely surrounded me, but even so I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
12 They came about mee like bees, but they were quenched as a fire of thornes: for in the Name of the Lord I shall destroy them.

17 I shall not die, but liue, and declare the woorkes of the Lord.

I want to thank you for answering me and for being the one who saves me.
