Psalms 118 / 150
- 1Give thanks to the LORD , for he is good; his love endures forever.
- 2Let Israel say: "His love endures forever."
- 3Let the house of Aaron say: "His love endures forever."
- 4Let those who fear the LORD say: "His love endures forever."
- 5In my anguish I cried to the LORD , and he answered by setting me free.
- 6The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
- 7The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.
- 8It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
- 9It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
- 10All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
- 11They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
- 12They swarmed around me like bees, but they died out as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
- 13I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me.
- 14The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
- 15Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!
- 16The LORD's right hand is lifted high; the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"
- 17I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.
- 18The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
- 19Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD .
- 20This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter.
- 21I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.
- 22The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;
- 23the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
- 24This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
- 25O LORD , save us; O LORD , grant us success.
- 26Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD . From the house of the LORD we bless you.
- 27The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine upon us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.
- 28You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you.
- 29Give thanks to the LORD , for he is good; his love endures forever.
