118:1 O, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good because His steadfast love endures forever. |
118:2 Let Israel now say that His steadfast love endures forever. |
118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say that His steadfast love endures forever. |
118:4 Let those who fear the LORD now say that His steadfast love endures forever. |
118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress; the LORD answered me, and set me in a large 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 as my helper; therefore I will look in triumph upon 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 trust in princes. |
118:10 All the nations surround me, but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
118:11 They surround me; yea, they surround me, but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
118:12 They surround me like bees; they are extinguished like the fire of thorns, for in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. |
118:13 You have thrust hard at me so 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 tabernacles of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD does mighty things. |
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 sorely chastened me; 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; the righteous shall enter through it. |
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 Head Stone of the corner. |
118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. |
118:24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. |
118:25 Save now, I beseech You, O LORD; O LORD, I beseech You, cause us to prosper now. |
118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD; we have blessed You out of the house of the LORD. |
118:27 The LORD is God and He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festival sacrifice with cords even unto 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 steadfast love endures forever. |
