Psalm 118

1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2 So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,
3 So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
4 So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
5 Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.
6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
7 The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that 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 compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
11 They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
12 They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns;
verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.
21 I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.
27 The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.
29 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
