The Book of 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.
