Psalms 118:1-8

1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his faithful love endures forever.

2Let Israel say, “His faithful love endures forever.”

3Let the house of Aaron say, “His faithful love endures forever.”

4Let those who fear the Lord say, “His faithful love endures forever.”

5I called to the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me and put me in a spacious place.

6The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?

7The Lord is my helper; therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

8It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humanity.
