Psalms 118

Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.

1 aGive thanks to the Lord, for bHe is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
 2Oh let cIsrael say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”
 3Oh let the dhouse of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”
 4Oh let those ewho ▼
▼ Or revere
fear the Lord say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

 5From my gdistress I called upon ▼
▼ Heb Yah
the Lord;
▼
▼ Heb Yah
The Lord answered me and j set me in a large place.
 6The Lord is kfor me; I will lnot fear;
mWhat can man do to me?
 7The Lord is for me namong those who help me;
Therefore I will olook with satisfaction on those who hate me.
 8It is pbetter to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.
 9It is qbetter to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.

 10All nations rsurrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will surely scut them off.
 11They tsurrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
 12They surrounded me ulike bees;
They were extinguished as a vfire of thorns;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
 13You wpushed me violently so that I ▼
▼ Or fell
was falling,
But the Lord yhelped me.
 14 ▼
▼ Heb Yah
 , aaThe Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become abmy salvation.

 15The sound of acjoyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The adright hand of the Lord does valiantly.
 16The aeright hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
 17I afwill not die, but live,
And agtell of the works of ▼
▼ Heb Yah
the Lord.
 18 ▼
▼ Heb Yah
The Lord has ajdisciplined me severely,
But He has aknot given me over to death.

 19 alOpen to me the gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to ▼
▼ Heb Yah
the Lord.
 20This is the gate of the Lord;
The anrighteous will enter through it.
 21I shall give thanks to You, for You have aoanswered me,
And You have apbecome my salvation.

 22The aqstone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.
 23This is ▼
▼ Lit from the Lord
the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
 24This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us asrejoice and be glad in it.
 25O Lord, atdo save, we beseech You;
O Lord, we beseech You, do send auprosperity!
 26 avBlessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have awblessed you from the house of the Lord.
 27 axThe Lord is God, and He has given us aylight;
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords ▼
▼ Lit unto
to the bahorns of the altar.
 28 bbYou are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, bcI extol You.
 29 bdGive thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
