AB - Psalms - 118

118:1  Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord; for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

118:2  Let now the house of Israel say that He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

118:3  Let now the house of Aaron say that He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

118:4  Let now all that fear the Lord say that He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

118:5  I called on the Lord out of affliction; and He hearkened to me, and brought me into a wide place.

118:6  The Lord is my helper; and I will not fear, what shall man do to me?

118:7  The Lord is my helper; and I shall see my desire upon my enemies.

118:8  It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in man.

118:9  It is better to hope in the Lord, than to hope in princes.

118:10  All the nations surrounded me; but in the name of the Lord I repulsed them.

118:11  They completely compassed me about; but in the name of the Lord I repulsed them.

118:12  They compassed me about as bees do a honeycomb, and they burst into flame as fire among thorns; but in the name of the Lord I repulsed them.

118:13  I was thrust, and sorely shaken, that I might fall; but the Lord helped me.

118:14  The Lord is my strength and my song, and has become my salvation.

118:15  The voice of exaltation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord has done mightily.

118:16  The right hand of the Lord has exalted me; the right hand of the Lord has done powerfully.

118:17  I shall not die, but live, and recount the works of the Lord.

118:18  The Lord has chastened me sore; but He has not given me up to death.

118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.

118:20  This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter by it.

118:21  I will give thanks to You; because You have heard me, and have become my salvation.

118:22  The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

118:23  This was the Lord's doing; and it is marvelous in our eyes.

118:24  This is the day that the Lord has made; let us exalt and rejoice in it.

118:25  O Lord, save now; O Lord, send now prosperity.

118:26  Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

118:27  God is the Lord, and He has shined upon us; celebrate the feast with thick branches, binding the victims even to the horns of the altar.

118:28  You are my God, and I will give You thanks; You are my God, and I will exalt You. I will give thanks to You, for You have heard me, and have become my salvation.

118:29  Give thanks to the Lord; for He is good; for His mercy endures forever!
