# Chapter 118
|
||
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
|
||
For His mercy endures forever.
|
||
2 Let Israel now say,
|
||
“His mercy endures forever.”
|
||
3 Let the house of Aaron now say,
|
||
“His mercy endures forever.”
|
||
4 Let those who fear the Lord now say,
|
||
“His mercy endures forever.”
|
||
5 I called on the Lord in distress;
|
||
The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.
|
||
6 The Lord is on my side;
|
||
I will not fear.
|
||
What can man do to me?
|
||
7 The Lord is for me among those who help me;
|
||
Therefore I shall see my desire on those who 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 surrounded me,
|
||
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
|
||
11 They surrounded me,
|
||
Yes, they surrounded me;
|
||
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
|
||
12 They surrounded me like bees;
|
||
They were quenched like a fire of thorns;
|
||
For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
|
||
13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
|
||
But the Lord helped me.
|
||
14 The Lord is my strength and song,
|
||
And He has become my salvation.
|
||
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
|
||
Is in the tents of the righteous;
|
||
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
|
||
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
|
||
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
|
||
17 I shall not die, but live,
|
||
And declare the works of the Lord.
|
||
18 The Lord has chastened me severely,
|
||
But He has not given me over to death.
|
||
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness;
|
||
I will go through them,
|
||
And I will praise the Lord.
|
||
20 This is the gate of the Lord,
|
||
Through which the righteous shall enter.
|
||
21 I will praise You,
|
||
For You have answered me,
|
||
And have become my salvation.
|
||
22 The stone which the builders rejected
|
||
Has become the chief cornerstone.
|
||
23 This was the Lord’s doing;
|
||
It is marvelous in our eyes.
|
||
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
|
||
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
|
||
25 Save now, I pray, O Lord;
|
||
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
|
||
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
|
||
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
|
||
27 God is the Lord,
|
||
And He has given us light;
|
||
Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
|
||
28 You are my God, and I will praise You;
|
||
You are my God, I will exalt You.
|
||
29 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
|
||
For His mercy endures forever. |
