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