Chapter 118
1
O give thanks unto the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*; 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5
I called upon the +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w* in distress: the +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w* answered me, and set me in a large place.
6
The +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7
The +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* than to put confidence in man.
9
It is better to trust in the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* than to put confidence in princes.
10
All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* will I destroy them.
11
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* I will destroy them.
13
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* helped me.
14
The +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* doeth valiantly.
16
The right hand of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* is exalted: the right hand of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* doeth valiantly.
17
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w*.
18
The +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w*:
20
This gate of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, 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 +w LORD’s|strong=“H3068”+w* doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24
This is the day which the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25
Save now, I beseech thee, O +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: O +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: we have blessed you out of the house of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*.
27
God is the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
