Psalms 118 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.' ² So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever, ³ So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever. ⁴ So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever. ⁵ Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement. ⁶ The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me? ⁷ The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me. ⁸ It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. ⁹ It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes. ¹⁰ All nations compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. ¹¹ They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. ¹² They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. ¹³ Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me. ¹⁴ The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation. ¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents 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 enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD. ²⁰ This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it. ²¹ I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. ²² The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone. 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 We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper! ²⁶ Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD. ²⁷ The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar. ²⁸ Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto 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.
