Psalms 118

Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.

11Give thanks to the Lord, for 2He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.2Oh let 3Israel say, “His lovingkindness is everlasting.”3Oh let the 4house of Aaron say, “His lovingkindness is everlasting.”4Oh let those 5who 6fear the Lord say, “His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

5From my 7distress I called upon 8the Lord; 9The Lord answered me and 10set me in a large place.6The Lord is 11for me; I will 12not fear; 13What can man do to me?7The Lord is for me 14among those who help me; Therefore I will 15look with satisfaction on those who hate me.8It is 16better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in man.9It is 17better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in princes.

10All nations 18surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will surely 19cut them off.11They 20surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.12They surrounded me 21like bees; They were extinguished as a 22fire of thorns; In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.13You 23pushed me violently so that I 24was falling, But the Lord 25helped me.142627The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become 28my salvation.

15The sound of 29joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The 30right hand of the Lord does valiantly.16The 31right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.17I 32will not die, but live, And 33tell of the works of 34the Lord.1835The Lord has 36disciplined me severely, But He has 37not given me over to death.

1938Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to 39the Lord.20This is the gate of the Lord; The 40righteous will enter through it.21I shall give thanks to You, for You have 41answered me, And You have 42become my salvation.

22The 43stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner stone.23This is 44the Lord’s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.24This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us 45rejoice and be glad in it.25O Lord, 46do save, we beseech You; O Lord, we beseech You, do send 47prosperity!2648Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord; We have 49blessed you from the house of the Lord.2750The Lord is God, and He has given us 51light; Bind the festival sacrifice with cords 52to the 53horns of the altar.2854You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, 55I extol You.2956Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
