Psalms 118

1O give thanks unto the LORD; for {he is} good: because his mercy {endureth} for ever.● 2Let Israel now say, that his mercy {endureth} for ever.● 3Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy {endureth} for ever.● 4Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy {endureth} for ever.● 5I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, {and set me} in a large place. {in distress: Heb. out of distress}● 6The LORD {is} on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? {on...: Heb. for me}● 7The 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.● 10All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. {destroy...: Heb. cut them off}● 11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.● 12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. {destroy: Heb. cut down}● 13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.● 14The LORD {is} my strength and song, and is become my salvation.● 15The voice of rejoicing and salvation {is} in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.● 16The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.● 17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.● 18The 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:● 20This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.● 21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.● 22The stone {which} the builders refused is become the head {stone} of the corner.● 23This is the LORD'S doing; it {is} marvellous in our eyes. {the LORD's...: Heb. from the LORD}● 24This {is} the day {which} the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.● 25Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.● 26Blessed {be} he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.● 27God {is} the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, {even} unto the horns of the altar.● 28Thou {art} my God, and I will praise thee: {thou art} my God, I will exalt thee.● 29O give thanks unto the LORD; for {he is} good: for his mercy {endureth} for ever.●
