Psalm 118
|
|
| 118:1
O give thanks unto the
LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. |
"His mercy endureth forever."
Is God merciful?
|
| 118:2
Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
|
| 118:3
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
|
| 118:4
Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
|
| 118:5
I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a
large place. |
|
| 118:6
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? |
|
| 118:7
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my
desire upon them that hate me. |
|
| 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. |
|
| 118:9
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. |
|
| 118:10
All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy
them. |
|
| 118:11
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of
the LORD I will destroy them. |
|
| 118:12
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. |
|
| 118:13
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. |
|
| 118:14
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. |
|
| 118:15
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the
righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
|
| 118:16
The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth
valiantly. |
|
| 118:17
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. |
|
| 118:18
The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. |
|
| 118:19
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will
praise the LORD: |
|
| 118:20
This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. |
|
| 118:21
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. |
|
| 118:22
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the
corner. |
|
| 118:23
This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. |
|
| 118:24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in
it. |
|
| 118:25
Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now
prosperity. |
|
| 118:26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out
of the house of the LORD. |
|
| 118:27
God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with
cords, even unto the horns of the altar. |
|
| 118:28
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt
thee. |
|
| 118:29
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for
ever.
