# Chapter 118
|
||
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
|
||
His faithful love endures forever.
|
||
2 Let all Israel repeat:
|
||
“His faithful love endures forever.”
|
||
3 Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat:
|
||
“His faithful love endures forever.”
|
||
4 Let all who fear the Lord repeat:
|
||
“His faithful love endures forever.”
|
||
5 In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
|
||
and the Lord answered me and set me free.
|
||
6 The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.
|
||
What can mere people do to me?
|
||
7 Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me.
|
||
I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
|
||
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
|
||
than to trust in people.
|
||
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
|
||
than to trust in princes.
|
||
10 Though hostile nations surrounded me,
|
||
I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.
|
||
11 Yes, they surrounded and attacked me,
|
||
but I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.
|
||
12 They swarmed around me like bees;
|
||
they blazed against me like a crackling fire.
|
||
But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.
|
||
13 My enemies did their best to kill me,
|
||
but the Lord rescued me.
|
||
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
|
||
he has given me victory.
|
||
15 Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly.
|
||
The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!
|
||
16 The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph.
|
||
The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!
|
||
17 I will not die; instead, I will live
|
||
to tell what the Lord has done.
|
||
18 The Lord has punished me severely,
|
||
but he did not let me die.
|
||
19 Open for me the gates where the righteous enter,
|
||
and I will go in and thank the Lord.
|
||
20 These gates lead to the presence of the Lord,
|
||
and the godly enter there.
|
||
21 I thank you for answering my prayer
|
||
and giving me victory!
|
||
22 The stone that the builders rejected
|
||
has now become the cornerstone.
|
||
23 This is the Lord’s doing,
|
||
and it is wonderful to see.
|
||
24 This is the day the Lord has made.
|
||
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
|
||
25 Please, Lord, please save us.
|
||
Please, Lord, please give us success.
|
||
26 Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
|
||
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
|
||
27 The Lord is God, shining upon us.
|
||
Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar.
|
||
28 You are my God, and I will praise you!
|
||
You are my God, and I will exalt you!
|
||
29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
|
||
His faithful love endures forever. |
