Psalms 118

Psalms 118

1Give thanks to the LORD , for he is good ,

for his loving kindness endures forever .

2Let Israel now say

that his loving kindness endures forever .

3Let the house of Aaron now say

that his loving kindness endures forever .

4Now let those who fear the LORD say

that his loving kindness endures forever .

5Out of my distress , I called on the LORD .

The LORD answered me with freedom.

6The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid .

What can man do to me ?

7The LORD is on my side among those who help me .

Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me .

8It is better to take refuge in the LORD ,

than to put confidence in man .

9It is better to take refuge in the LORD ,

than to put confidence in princes .

10All the nations surrounded me ,

but in the LORD ’s name I cut them off .

11They surrounded me , yes , they surrounded me .

In the LORD ’s name I indeed cut them off .

12They surrounded me like bees .

They are quenched like the burning thorns .

In the LORD ’s name I cut them off .

13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall ,

but the LORD helped me .

14The LORD is my strength and song .

He has become my salvation [yeshu`ah ].

15The voice of rejoicing and salvation [yeshu`ah ] is in the tents of the righteous .

“The right hand of the LORD does valiantly .

16The right hand of the LORD is exalted !

The right hand of the LORD does valiantly !”

17I will not die , but live ,

and declare the LORD ’s works .

18The LORD has punished me severely ,

but he has not given me over to death .

19Open to me the gates of righteousness .

I will enter into them .

I will give thanks to the LORD .

20This is the gate of the LORD ;

the righteous will enter into it .

21I will give thanks to you , for you have answered me ,

and have become my salvation [yeshu`ah ].

22The stone which the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone .

23This is the LORD ’s doing.

It is marvelous in our eyes .

24This is the day that the LORD has made .

We will rejoice and be glad in it !

25Save us now , we beg you , LORD !

LORD , we beg you , send prosperity now .

26Blessed is he who comes in the LORD ’s name !

We have blessed you out of the LORD ’s house .

27The LORD is God , and he has given us light.

Bind the sacrifice with cords , even to the horns of the altar .

28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you .

You are my God, I will exalt you .

29Oh give thanks to the LORD , for he is good ,

for his loving kindness endures forever .
