Psalms 118

¹O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.

²Oh let Israel say, "His lovingkindness endures forever."

³Oh let the house of Aaron say, "His lovingkindness endures forever."

⁴Oh let those who [reverently] fear the LORD, say, "His lovingkindness endures forever."

⁵Out of my distress I called on the LORD; The LORD answered me and set me free.

⁶The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can [mere] man do to me?

⁷The LORD is on my side, He is among those who help me; Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.

⁸It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man.

⁹It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in princes.

¹⁰All nations encompassed me; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off.

¹¹They encompassed me, yes, they surrounded me [on every side]; In the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

¹²They swarmed around me like bees; They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off.

¹³You [my enemy] pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the LORD helped me.

¹⁴The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.

¹⁵The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

¹⁶The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

¹⁷I will not die, but live, And declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the LORD.

¹⁸The LORD has disciplined me severely, But He has not given me over to death.

¹⁹Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the LORD.

²⁰This is the gate of the LORD; The righteous will enter through it.

²¹I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me; And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior].

²²The stone which the builders rejected Has become the[1] chief corner stone.

²³This is from the LORD and is His doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵O LORD, save now, we beseech You; O LORD, we beseech You, send now prosperity and give us success!

²⁶Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the house of the LORD [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship].

²⁷The LORD is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy]. Bind the festival sacrifices with[2] cords to the horns of the altar.

²⁸You are my God, and I give thanks to You; [You are] my God, I extol You.

²⁹O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.
