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. |
