Psalms 118

¹Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good, and his love is eternal.

²Let the people of Israel say, "His love is eternal."

³Let the priests of God say, "His love is eternal."

⁴Let all who worship him say, "His love is eternal."

⁵In my distress I called to the LORD; he answered me and set me free.

⁶The LORD is with me, I will not be afraid; what can anyone do to me?

⁷It is the LORD who helps me, and I will see my enemies defeated.

⁸It is better to trust in the LORD than to depend on people.

⁹It is better to trust in the LORD than to depend on human leaders.

¹⁰Many enemies were around me; but I destroyed them by the power of the LORD!

¹¹They were around me on every side; but I destroyed them by the power of the LORD!

¹²They swarmed around me like bees, but they burned out as quickly as a brush fire; by the power of the LORD I destroyed them.

¹³I was fiercely attacked and was being defeated, but the LORD helped me.

¹⁴The LORD makes me powerful and strong; he has saved me.

¹⁵Listen to the glad shouts of victory in the tents of God's people: "The LORD's mighty power has done it!

¹⁶His power has brought us victory--- his mighty power in battle!"

¹⁷I will not die; instead, I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done.

¹⁸He has punished me severely, but he has not let me die.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of the Temple; I will go in and give thanks to the LORD!

²⁰This is the gate of the LORD; only the righteous can come in.

²¹I praise you, LORD, because you heard me, because you have given me victory.

²²The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all.

²³This was done by the LORD; what a wonderful sight it is!

²⁴This is the day of the LORD's victory; let us be happy, let us celebrate!

²⁵Save us, LORD, save us! Give us success, O LORD!

²⁶May God bless the one who comes in the name of the LORD! From the Temple of the LORD we bless you.

²⁷The LORD is God; he has been good to us. With branches in your hands, start the festival and march around the altar.

²⁸You are my God, and I give you thanks; I will proclaim your greatness.

²⁹Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good, and his love is eternal.
