Psalm 118:1-29 NET

[1] Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, and his loyal love endures. [2] Let Israel say, "Yes, his loyal love endures." [3] Let the family of Aaron say, "Yes, his loyal love endures." [4] Let the loyal followers of the LORD say, "Yes, his loyal love endures." [5] In my distress I cried out to the LORD. The LORD answered me and put me in a wide open place. [6] The LORD is on my side; I am not afraid. What can people do to me? [7] The LORD is on my side as my helper. I look in triumph on those who hate me. [8] It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in people. [9] It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in princes. [10] All the nations surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away. [11] They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away. [12] They surrounded me like bees. But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away. [13] "You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the LORD helped me. [14] The LORD gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer." [15] They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. The LORD's right hand conquers. [16] The LORD's right hand gives victory; the LORD's right hand conquers. [17] I will not die, but live, and I will proclaim what the LORD has done. [18] The LORD severely punished me, but he did not hand me over to death. [19] Open for me the gates of the just king's temple. I will enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. [20] This is the LORD's gate-the godly enter through it. [21] I will give you thanks, for you answered me, and have become my deliverer. [22] The stone that the builders discarded has become the cornerstone. [23] This is the LORD's work. We consider it amazing! [24] This is the day the LORD has brought about. We will be happy and rejoice in it. [25] Please, LORD, deliver! Please, LORD, grant us success! [26] May the one who comes in the name of the LORD be blessed. We will pronounce blessings on you in the LORD's temple. [27] The LORD is God, and he has delivered us. Tie the offering with ropes to the horns of the altar. [28] You are my God, and I will give you thanks. You are my God and I will praise you. [29] Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good and his loyal love endures.
