118:1  Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

118:2  Let Israel say:
"His love endures forever."

118:3  Let the house of Aaron say:
"His love endures forever."

118:4  Let those who fear the LORD say:
"His love endures forever."

118:5  In my anguish I cried to the LORD,
and he answered by setting me free.

118:6  The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

118:7  The LORD is with me; he is my helper.
I will look in triumph on my enemies.

118:8  It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.

118:9  It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes.

118:10  All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

118:11  They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

118:12  They swarmed around me like bees,
but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

118:13  I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the LORD helped me.

118:14  The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.

118:15  Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
"The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!

118:16  The LORD's right hand is lifted high;
the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"

118:17  I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

118:18  The LORD has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.

118:19  Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.

118:20  This is the gate of the LORD
through which the righteous may enter.

118:21  I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.

118:22  The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;

118:23  the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.

118:24  This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

118:25  O LORD, save us;
O LORD, grant us success.

118:26  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
From the house of the LORD we bless you.

118:27  The LORD is God,
and he has made his light shine upon us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession
up to the horns of the altar.

118:28  You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.

118:29  Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
