Psalm 118

Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious; his mercy endures for ever.

Let Israel now confess that he is gracious, that his mercy endures for ever.

Let the house of Aaron now confess that his mercy endures for ever.

Indeed, let those who fear the Lord confess that his mercy endures for ever.

I called upon the Lord in trouble, and the Lord heard me and set me free.

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

The Lord takes my side with those who help me; therefore shall I look in triumph on my enemies.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put any confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put any confidence in princes.

All the nations encompass me, but in the Name of the Lord will I cut them off.

They hem me in on every side; indeed, they hem me in on every side, but in the Name of the Lord will I cut them off.

They come about me like bees, and blaze like fire among the thorns, but in the Name of the Lord will I cut them off.

I was thrust aside so that I almost fell, but the Lord was my help.

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

The voice of joy and deliverance is in the dwellings of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord brings mighty things to pass.

The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord brings mighty things to pass.

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

The Lord has chastened and corrected me, but he has not given me over to death.

Open unto me the gates of righteousness, that I may go into them, and give thanks unto the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter into it.

I will thank you, for you have heard me, and have become my salvation.

The same stone which the builders refused has become the chief cornerstone.

This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

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

Help me now, O Lord; O Lord, send us now prosperity.

Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord; we bless you from the house of the Lord.

God is the Lord, who has shown us light; bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I will thank you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious; his mercy endures for ever.
