PSALMS CHAPTER 118
1     ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever.
2     Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.
3     Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.
4     Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.
5     I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place.
6     The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7     The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that 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 compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11     They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12     They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13     Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14     The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15     The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the tabernacles 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 go into them, [and] I will praise the LORD:
20     This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21     I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22     The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.
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     Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26     Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27     God [is] the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar.
28     Thou [art] my God, and I will praise 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.
