Psalm 118

Praise the LORD, for He is good, His steadfast love is eternal.

Let Israel declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.”

Let the house of Aaron declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.”

Let those who fear the LORD declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.”

In distress I called on the LORD; the Lord answered me and brought me relief.

The LORD is on my side, I have no fear; what can man do to me?

With the LORD on my side as my helper, I will see the downfall of my foes.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in mortals;

it is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in the great.

All nations have beset me; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down.

They beset me, they surround me; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down.

They have beset me like bees; they shall be extinguished like burning thorns; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down.

You pressed me hard, I nearly fell; but the LORD helped me.

The LORD is my strength and might; He has become my deliverance.

The tents of the victorious resound with joyous shouts of deliverance, “The right hand of the LORD is triumphant!

The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD is triumphant!”

I shall not die but live and proclaim the works of the LORD.

The LORD punished me severely, but did not hand me over to death.

Open the gates of victory for me that I may enter them and praise the LORD.

This is the gateway to the LORD— the victorious shall enter through it.

I praise You, for You have answered me, and have become my deliverance.

The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our sight.

This is the day that the LORD has made— let us exult and rejoice on it.

O LORD, deliver us! O LORD, let us prosper!

May he who enters be blessed in the name of the LORD; we bless you from the House of the LORD.

The LORD is God; He has given us light; bind the festal offering to the horns of the altar with cords.

You are my God and I will praise You; You are my God and I will extol You.

Praise the LORD for He is good, His steadfast love is eternal.
