The Lord is with mee: therefore I will not feare what man can doe vnto me.

7 The Lord is for me, among those that help me: therefore shall I indeed look on [the punishment of] those that hate me.

14 My strength and song is the Lord, and he is become my salvation.

21 I will thank thee: for thou but answered me, and art become my salvation.

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard mee, and hast beene my deliuerance.

22 The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.

23 From the Lord is this come to pass, it is marvelous in our eyes.

This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
