Psalms Chapter 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. |
