| Chapter 118 |
1 |
O give thanks unto 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 unto 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 compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
|
11 |
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
|
12 |
They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
|
13 |
Thou hast thrust sore 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 sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
|
19 |
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into 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] marvellous 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, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto 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 unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
