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.
