Psalm 118:1-29 NKJV

[1] Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. [2] Let Israel now say, "His mercy endures forever." [3] Let the house of Aaron now say, "His mercy endures forever." [4] Let those who fear the LORD now say, "His mercy endures forever." [5] I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. [6] The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? [7] The LORD is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me. [8] It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. [9] It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes. [10] All nations surrounded me, But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [11] They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [12] They surrounded me like bees; They were quenched like a fire of thorns; For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [13] You pushed me violently, that I might fall, But the LORD helped me. [14] The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. [15] The voice of rejoicing 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 shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD. [18] The LORD has chastened me severely, But He has not given me over to death. [19] Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, And I will praise the LORD. [20] This is the gate of the LORD, Through which the righteous shall enter. [21] I will praise You, For You have answered me, And have become my salvation. [22] The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. [23] This was the LORD's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. [24] This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. [25] Save now, I pray, O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now prosperity. [26] Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. [27] God is the LORD, And He has given us light; Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. [28] You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You. [29] Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
