118:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. 118:2 Oh let Israel say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting." 118:3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting." 118:4 Oh let those who fear the LORD say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting." 118:5 From [my] distress I called upon the LORD; The LORD answered me [and] [set me] in a large place. 118:6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me? 118:7 The LORD is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall look [with satisfaction] on those who hate me. 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man. 118:9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in princes. 118:10 All nations surrounded me; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. 118:11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. 118:12 They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished as a fire of thorns; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. 118:13 You pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the LORD helped me. 118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. 118:15 The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 118:17 I shall not die, but live, And tell of the works of the LORD. 118:18 The LORD has disciplined me severely, But He has not given me over to death. 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the LORD. 118:20 This is the gate of the LORD; The righteous will enter through it. 118:21 I shall give thanks to Thee, for Thou hast answered me; And Thou hast become my salvation. 118:22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner [stone]. 118:23 This is the LORD's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. 118:24 This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. 118:25 O LORD, do save, we beseech Thee; O LORD, we beseech Thee, do send prosperity! 118:26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. 118:27 The LORD is God, and He has given us light; Bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. 118:28 Thou art my God, and I give thanks to Thee; [Thou art] my God, I extol Thee. 118:29 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
