Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.

118 
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

For His mercy is everlasting.

2 Let Israel say,

“His mercy is everlasting.”

3 Oh let the house of Aaron say,

“His mercy is everlasting.”

4 Let those who [a]fear the Lord say,

“His mercy is everlasting.”

5 From my distress I called upon [b]the Lord;

[c]The Lord answered me and put me in an open space.

6 The Lord is for me; I will not fear;

What can man do to me?

7 The Lord is for me among those who help me;

Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in people.

9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in noblemen.

10 All nations surrounded me;

In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.

11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;

In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.

12 They surrounded me like bees;

They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes;

In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.

13 You pushed me violently so that I [d]was falling,

But the Lord helped me.

14 [e]The Lord is my strength and song,

And He has become my salvation.

15 The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;

The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.

16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;

The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.

17 I will not die, but live,

And tell of the works of [f]the Lord.

18 [g]The Lord has disciplined me severely,

But He has not turned me over to death.

19 Open the gates of righteousness to me;

I will enter through them, I will give thanks to [h]the Lord.

20 This is the gate of the Lord;

The righteous will enter through it.

21 I will give thanks to You, for You have answered me,

And You have become my salvation.

22 A stone which the builders rejected

Has become the [i]chief cornerstone.

23 This came about from the Lord;

It is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which the Lord has made;

Let’s rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Please, O Lord, do save us;

Please, O Lord, do send prosperity!

26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;

We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.

27 The Lord is God, and He has given us light;

Bind the festival sacrifice [j]to the horns of the altar with cords.

28 You are my God, and I give thanks to You;

You are my God, I exalt You.

29 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

For His mercy is everlasting.
