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.
