Psalms 118:13-21 New Century Version (NCV)

13. They chased me until I was almost defeated,but the Lord helped me.

14. The Lord gives me strength and a song.He has saved me.

15. Shouts of joy and victorycome from the tents of those who do right:“The Lord has done powerful things.”

16. The power of the Lord has won the victory;with his power the Lord has done mighty things.

17. I will not die, but live,and I will tell what the Lord has done.

18. The Lord has taught me a hard lesson,but he did not let me die.

19. Open for me the Temple gates.Then I will come in and thank the Lord.

20. This is the Lord’s gate;only those who are good may enter through it.

21. Lord, I thank you for answering me.You have saved me.
