Psalm 118

Psalm CXVIII.

^aO give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:

Because his mercy endureth for ever.

^2bLet Israel now say,

That his mercy endureth for ever.

^3bLet the house of Aaron now say,

That his mercy endureth for ever.

^4bLet them now ^cthat fear the Lord say,

That his mercy endureth for ever.

^5dI called upon the ^eLord in ^fdistress:

The ^eLord answered me, and ^gset me in ^ha large place.

⁶ⁱThe Lord is on my side; ^jI will not fear:

What can man do unto me?

^7kThe Lord taketh my part with them that help me:

Therefore shall ^lI see my desire upon them that hate me.

⁸It is better to ^mtrust in the Lord

Than to put confidence in man.

⁹It is better to ^mtrust in the Lord

Than to put confidence in ⁿprinces.

¹⁰All nations ^ocompassed me about:

But in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.

^11oThey compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:

But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

^12oThey compassed me about ^plike bees;

They are quenched ^qas the fire of thorns:

For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

¹³Thou hast ^rthrust sore at me that I might fall:

But the Lord helped me.

¹⁴The ^seLord is my strength and song,

And ^stis become my salvation.

¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous:

^uThe right hand of the Lord ^vdoeth valiantly.

¹⁶The right hand of the Lord is exalted:

^uThe right hand of the Lord ^vdoeth valiantly.

¹⁷I ^wshall not die, but live,

And ^xdeclare the works of the ^eLord.

¹⁸The ^eLord hath ^ychastened me sore:

But he hath not given me over unto death.

^19zOpen to me the gates of righteousness:

I will go into them, and I will praise the ^eLord:

²⁰This gate of the Lord,

^aInto which the righteous shall enter.

²¹I will praise thee: for ^bthou hast heard me,

^cAnd art become my salvation.

^22dThe stone which the builders refused

Is become ^ethe head stone of the corner.

²³This is the Lord’s doing;

It is marvellous in our eyes.

²⁴This is the day which the Lord hath made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

^25fSave now, I beseech thee, O Lord:

O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

^26gBlessed be ^hhe that cometh ⁱin the name of the Lord:

^kWe have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

²⁷God is the Lord, which hath ^lshewed us light:

Bind the ^msacrifice with cords,

Even unto ⁿthe horns of the altar.

²⁸Thou art my God, and I will praise thee:

Thou art my God, I will ^oexalt thee.

^29pO give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:

For his mercy endureth for ever.
