# Chapter 118
|
|
1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
|
|
for his steadfast love endures forever!
|
|
2 Let Israel say,
|
|
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
|
|
3 Let the house of Aaron say,
|
|
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
|
|
4 Let those who fear the Lord say,
|
|
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
|
|
5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
|
|
the Lord answered me and set me free.
|
|
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
|
|
What can man do to me?
|
|
7 The Lord is on my side as my helper;
|
|
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
|
|
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
|
|
than to trust in man.
|
|
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
|
|
than to trust in princes.
|
|
10 All nations surrounded me;
|
|
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
|
|
11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
|
|
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
|
|
12 They surrounded me like bees;
|
|
they went out like a fire among thorns;
|
|
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
|
|
13 I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,
|
|
but the Lord helped me.
|
|
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
|
|
he has become my salvation.
|
|
15 Glad songs of salvation
|
|
are in the tents of the righteous:
|
|
“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,
|
|
16 the right hand of the Lord exalts,
|
|
the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”
|
|
17 I shall not die, but I shall live,
|
|
and recount the deeds of the Lord.
|
|
18 The Lord has disciplined me severely,
|
|
but he has not given me over to death.
|
|
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,
|
|
that I may enter through them
|
|
and give thanks to the Lord.
|
|
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
|
|
the righteous shall enter through it.
|
|
21 I thank you that you have answered me
|
|
and have become my salvation.
|
|
22 The stone that the builders rejected
|
|
has become the cornerstone.
|
|
23 This is the Lord's doing;
|
|
it is marvelous in our eyes.
|
|
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
|
|
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
|
|
25 Save us, we pray, O Lord!
|
|
O Lord, we pray, give us success!
|
|
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
|
|
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
|
|
27 The Lord is God,
|
|
and he has made his light to shine upon us.
|
|
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
|
|
up to the horns of the altar!
|
|
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
|
|
you are my God; I will extol you.
|
|
29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
|
|
for his steadfast love endures forever! |
