Psalms 118
1 Give praise to Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his kindness endureth for ever!
2 Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let Israel now say, His kindness endureth for ever!
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say, His goodness endureth for ever!
4 Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let all who fear the LORD say, His kindness endureth for ever!
5 In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.
I called upon the LORD in distress; He heard, and set me in a wide place.
6 The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.
The LORD is on my side, I will not fear: What can man do to me?
7 The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.
The LORD is my helper; I shall see my desire upon my enemies.
8 It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man;
9 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.
It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
All the nations beset me around, But in the name of the LORD I destroyed them.
11 Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
They beset me on every side; But in the name of the LORD I destroyed them.
12 They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them.
They beset me around like bees; They were quenched like the fire of thorns, For in the name of the LORD I destroyed them.
13 Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.
Thou didst assail me with violence to bring me down! But the LORD was my support.
14 The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.
The LORD is my glory and my song; For to him I owe my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.
The voice of joy and salvation is in the habitations of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly;
16 The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength.
The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.”
17 I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.
I shall not die, but live, And declare the deeds of the LORD.
18 The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.
The LORD hath sorely chastened me, But he hath not given me over to death.
19 Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.
Open to me the gates of righteousness, That I may go in, and praise the LORD!
20 This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.
This is the gate of the LORD, Through which the righteous enter.
21 I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.
I praise thee that thou hast heard me, And hast been my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.
“The stone which the builders rejected Hath become the chief corner-stone.
23 This is the Lord’s doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.
This is the LORD'S doing; It is marvellous in our eyes!
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
25 O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.
Hear, O LORD! and bless us! Hear, O LORD! and send us prosperity!”
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
“Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD.”
27 The Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us. Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs, even to the horn of the alter.
“Jehovah is God, he hath shone upon us: Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar!”
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee; Thou art my God, and I will exalt thee!
29 O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his kindness endureth for ever!
