Psalm 118
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy
endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for
ever.
5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set
me in a large place.
6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I
see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in
princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will
I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in
the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire
of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD
helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of
the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the
LORD doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over
unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and
I will praise the LORD:
20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my
salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of
the corner.
23 This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be
glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send
now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have
blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice
with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will
exalt thee.
29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy
endureth for ever.
