| Chapter 118 |
1 |
O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. |
2 |
Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
3 |
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
4 |
Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
5 |
I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. |
6 |
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do to me? |
7 |
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. |
8 |
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. |
9 |
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. |
10 |
All nations encompassed me: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. |
11 |
They encompassed me; yes, they encompassed me: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
12 |
They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
13 |
Thou hast violently thrust at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. |
14 |
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. |
15 |
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
16 |
The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
17 |
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. |
18 |
The LORD hath chastened me severely: but he hath not given me over to death. |
19 |
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter them, and I will praise the LORD: |
20 |
This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. |
21 |
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. |
22 |
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. |
23 |
This is the LORD'S doing; it is wonderful in our eyes. |
24 |
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. |
25 |
Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. |
26 |
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. |
27 |
God is the LORD, who hath shown us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. |
28 |
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. |
29 |
O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
