King James VersionPsalms118

Psalms

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