118:1  Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

118:2  Let Israel now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

118:3  Let the house of Aaron now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

118:4  Let those who fear the LORD now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

118:5  I called on the LORD in distress;
The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.

118:6  The LORD is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?

118:7  The LORD is for me among those who help me;
Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.

118:8  It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man.

118:9  It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in princes.

118:10  All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:11  They surrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:12  They surrounded me like bees;
They were quenched like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:13  You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the LORD helped me.

118:14  The LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.

118:15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

118:16  The right hand of the LORD is exalted;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

118:17  I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of the LORD.

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

118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the LORD.

118:20  This is the gate of the LORD,
Through which the righteous shall enter.

118:21  I will praise You,
For You have answered me,
And have become my salvation.

118:22  The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.

118:23  This was the LORD’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.

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

118:25  Save now, I pray, O LORD;
O LORD, I pray, send now prosperity.

118:26  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!
We have blessed you from the house of the LORD.

118:27  God is the LORD,
And He has given us light;
Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

118:28  You are my God, and I will praise You;
You are my God, I will exalt You.

118:29  Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
