# Chapter 118
|
||
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
|
||
his faithful love endures forever.
|
||
2 Let Israel say,
|
||
“His faithful love endures forever.”
|
||
3 Let the house of Aaron say,
|
||
“His faithful love endures forever.”
|
||
4 Let those who fear the Lord say,
|
||
“His faithful love endures forever.”
|
||
5 I called to the Lord in distress;
|
||
the Lord answered me
|
||
and put me in a spacious place.
|
||
6 The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid.
|
||
What can a mere mortal do to me?
|
||
7 The Lord is my helper;
|
||
therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
|
||
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
|
||
than to trust in humanity.
|
||
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
|
||
than to trust in nobles.
|
||
10 All the nations surrounded me;
|
||
in the name of the Lord I destroyed them.
|
||
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
|
||
in the name of the Lord I destroyed them.
|
||
12 They surrounded me like bees;
|
||
they were extinguished like a fire among thorns;
|
||
in the name of the Lord I destroyed them.
|
||
13 They pushed me hard to make me fall,
|
||
but the Lord helped me.
|
||
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
|
||
he has become my salvation.
|
||
15 There are shouts of joy and victory
|
||
in the tents of the righteous:
|
||
“The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!
|
||
16 The Lord’s right hand is raised.
|
||
The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!”
|
||
17 I will not die, but I will live
|
||
and proclaim what the Lord has done.
|
||
18 The Lord disciplined me severely
|
||
but did not give me over to death.
|
||
19 Open the gates of righteousness for me;
|
||
I will enter through them
|
||
and give thanks to the Lord.
|
||
20 This is the Lord’s gate;
|
||
the righteous will enter through it.
|
||
21 I will give thanks to you
|
||
because you have answered me
|
||
and have become my salvation.
|
||
22 The stone that the builders rejected
|
||
has become the cornerstone.
|
||
23 This came from the Lord;
|
||
it is wondrous in our sight.
|
||
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
|
||
let’s rejoice and be glad in it.
|
||
25 Lord, save us!
|
||
Lord, please grant us success!
|
||
26 He who comes in the name
|
||
of the Lord is blessed.
|
||
From the house of the Lord we bless you.
|
||
27 The Lord is God and has given us light.
|
||
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords
|
||
to the horns of the altar.
|
||
28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks.
|
||
You are my God; I will exalt you.
|
||
29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
|
||
his faithful love endures forever. |
