Psalm 118:1-29 AMP

[1] O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever. [2] Oh let Israel say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.” [3] Oh let the house of Aaron say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.” [4] Oh let those who [reverently] fear the LORD, say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.” [5] Out of my distress I called on the LORD; The LORD answered me and set me free. [6] The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can [mere] man do to me? [7] The LORD is on my side, He is among those who help me; Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who 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 encompassed me; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. [11] They encompassed me, yes, they surrounded me [on every side]; In the name of the LORD I will cut them off. [12] They swarmed around me like bees; They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. [13] You [my enemy] pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the LORD helped me. [14] 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 does valiantly. [16] The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. [17] I will not die, but live, And declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the LORD. [18] The LORD has disciplined me severely, But He has not given me over to death. [19] Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to 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 heard and answered me; And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior]. [22] The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner stone. [23] This is from the LORD and is His doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. [24] This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. [25] O LORD, save now, we beseech You; O LORD, we beseech You, send now prosperity and give us success! [26] Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the house of the LORD [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship]. [27] The LORD is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy]. Bind the festival sacrifices with cords to the horns of the altar. [28] You are my God, and I give thanks to You; [You are] my God, I extol You. [29] O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.
