Psalm 118

¹O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

²Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

³Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

⁴Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

⁵I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

⁶The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

⁷The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.

⁸It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.

⁹It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.

¹⁰All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

¹¹They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

¹²They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

¹³I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

¹⁴The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

¹⁵The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
