Psalm 118

Thanksgiving for the L ord ’ s Saving Goodness.

¹Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His mercy is everlasting.

²Let Israel say, “His mercy is everlasting.”

³Oh let the house of Aaron say, “His mercy is everlasting.”

⁴Let those who fear the Lord say, “His mercy is everlasting.”

⁵¶From my distress I called upon the Lord; The Lord answered me and put me in an open space.

⁶The Lord is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?

⁷The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

⁸It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in people.

⁹It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in noblemen.

¹⁰¶All nations surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.

¹¹They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.

¹²They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.

¹³You pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the Lord helped me.

¹⁴The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.

¹⁵¶The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.

¹⁶The right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.

¹⁷I will not die, but live, And tell of the works of the Lord.

¹⁸The Lord has disciplined me severely, But He has not turned me over to death.

¹⁹¶Open the gates of righteousness to me; I will enter through them, I will give thanks to the Lord.

²⁰This is the gate of the Lord; The righteous will enter through it.

²¹I will give thanks to You, for You have answered me, And You have become my salvation.

²²¶A stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

²³This came about from the Lord; It is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴This is the day which the Lord has made; Let’s rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵Please, O Lord, do save us; Please, O Lord, do send prosperity!

²⁶Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord; We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.

²⁷The Lord is God, and He has given us light; Bind the festival sacrifice to the horns of the altar with cords.

²⁸You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, I exalt You.

²⁹Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His mercy is everlasting.
