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.
