PSALM 118
1O 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 distressa:
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 destroyb
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 destroyc 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.
19Open 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.
