Psalms 118 : 1 - 29
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.
