Psalm 118
King James Version

118 O give thanks unto theLord; 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 theLordsay, that his mercy endureth for ever.

5 I called upon theLordin distress: theLordanswered me, and set me in a large place.

6 TheLordis on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

7 TheLordtaketh 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 theLordthan to put confidence in man.

9 It is better to trust in theLordthan to put confidence in princes.

10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of theLordwill I destroy them.

11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of theLordI will destroy them.

12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of theLordI will destroy them.

13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but theLordhelped me.

14 TheLordis 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 theLorddoeth valiantly.

16 The right hand of theLordis exalted: the right hand of theLorddoeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of theLord.

18 TheLordhath 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 theLord:

20 This gate of theLord, 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 theLord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which theLordhath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save now, I beseech thee, OLord: OLord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of theLord: we have blessed you out of the house of theLord.

27 God is theLord, 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 theLord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
