14. The Lord is my strength and my defence;he has become my salvation.
15. Shouts of joy and victoryresound in the tents of the righteous:‘The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
16. The Lord’s right hand is lifted high;the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!’
17. I will not die but live,and will proclaim what the Lord has done.
18. The Lord has chastened me severely,but he has not given me over to death.
19. Open for me the gates of the righteous;I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
