Psalms 118

Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy

¹Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

²Let Israel now say, “His mercy endures forever.”

³Let the house of Aaron now say, “His mercy endures forever.”

⁴Let those who fear the Lord now say, “His mercy endures forever.”

⁵I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.

⁶The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

⁷The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.

⁸It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man.

⁹It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in princes.

¹⁰All nations surrounded me, But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

¹¹They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

¹²They surrounded me like bees; They were quenched like a fire of thorns; For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

¹³You pushed me violently, that I might fall, But the Lord helped me.

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

¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

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

¹⁷I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the Lord.

¹⁸The Lord has chastened me severely, But He has not given me over to death.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, And I will praise the Lord.

²⁰This is the gate of the Lord, Through which the righteous shall enter.

²¹I will praise You, For You have answered me, And have become my salvation.

²²The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

²³This was the Lord’s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵Save now, I pray, O Lord; O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.

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

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

²⁸You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You.

²⁹Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
