Psalm 118
Lamsa Bible Par ▾ 
1O GIVE thanks to the LORD; for he is good and his mercy endures for ever.

2Let Israel now say that his mercy endures for ever.

3Let the house of Aaron now say that his mercy endures for ever.

4Let them that worship the LORD say that his mercy endures for ever.

5Out of my distress I called upon the LORD; the LORD answered me and relieved me.

6The LORD is my help, I will not fear; what can man do to me?

7The LORD is my helper; therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

9It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

10All nations surrounded me; but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

11They surrounded me; yea, they surrounded me; but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

12They surrounded me like hornets; they are quenched like the fire of stubble; for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

13I have been repelled that I might be overthrown and fall; but the LORD helped me.

14The LORD is my strength and song, and has become my salvation.

15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

16The right hand of the LORD has exalted me; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

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

18The LORD has chastened me severely; but he has not given me over to death.

19Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD.

20This is the gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

21I will give thanks to thee; for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

22The stone which the builders rejected has become the headstone of the corner.

23This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

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

25Save me, O LORD; O LORD, deliver me.

26Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD; we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

27O LORD, our God, enlighten us; bind our festival processions as an unbroken chain, even to the horns of the altar.

28Thou art my God, and I will give thanks to thee; thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
