Psalm 118:1-29 ESV

[1] Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! [2] Let Israel say, "His steadfast love endures forever." [3] Let the house of Aaron say, "His steadfast love endures forever." [4] Let those who fear the LORD say, "His steadfast love 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 man do to me? [7] The LORD is on my side as my helper; I shall 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 surrounded me; in the name of the LORD I cut them off! [11] They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the LORD I cut them off! [12] They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off! [13] I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me. [14] The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. [15] Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: "The right hand of the LORD does valiantly, [16] the right hand of the LORD exalts, the right hand of the LORD does valiantly!" [17] I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD. [18] The LORD has disciplined me severely, but he has not given me over to death. [19] Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. [20] This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. [21] I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. [22] The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. [23] This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. [24] This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. [25] Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success! [26] Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. [27] The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar! [28] You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. [29] Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
