Psalm 118:1-29 MEV

[1] Oh, give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, because His mercy endures forever. [2] Let Israel say, "His mercy endures forever." [3] Let the house of Aaron say, "His mercy endures forever." [4] Let those who fear the LORD say, "His mercy endures forever." [5] I called upon the LORD from my distress; the LORD answered me and set me in an open place. [6] The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can people do to me? [7] The LORD is on my side to help me; I shall look in triumph upon 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 encircled me, but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [11] They circled me; indeed, they surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [12] They circled me like bees; they went forth as a fire over thorns, but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [13] You have pushed against me, that I was falling, but the LORD helped me. [14] The LORD is my strength and song; 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 is valiant. [16] The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD is valiant." [17] I shall not die, but I shall live and declare the works of the LORD. [18] The LORD has severely chastened me, but He has not given me over unto death. [19] Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD. [20] This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through. [21] I will thank You that You have heard me and have become my deliverance. [22] The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. [23] This is what the LORD has done; it is marvelous in our eyes. [24] This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. [25] Save us, we ask You, O LORD; O LORD, we ask You, send now success. [26] Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. [27] The LORD is God, and He has shown us His light; bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto 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 unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever.
