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 will 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 will 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 You, for You have answered me, And You have 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 You; O Lord, we beseech You, 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 You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, I extol You. 118:29 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
