PSALM 118
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1O praise the Lord, for he is good;
his mercy lasteth ever.
2Let those of Israel now say,
His mercy faileth never.
3Now let the house of Aaron say,
His mercy lasteth ever.
4Let those that fear the Lord now say,
His mercy faileth never.
5I in distress call'd on the Lord;
the Lord did answer me:
He in a large place did me set,
from trouble made me free.
6The mighty Lord is on my side,
I will not be afraid;
For any thing that man can do
I shall not be dismay'd.
7The Lord doth take my part with them
that help to succour me:
Therefore on those that do me hate
I my desire shall see.
8Better it is to trust in God
than trust in man's defence;
9Better to trust in God than make
princes our confidence.
10The nations, joining all in one,
did compass me about:
But in the Lord's most holy name
I shall them all root out.
11They compass'd me about; I say,
they compass'd me about:
But in the Lord's most holy name
I shall them all root out.
12Like bees they compass'd me about;
like unto thorns that flame
They quenched are: for them shall I
destroy in God's own name.
13Thou sore hast thrust, that I might fall,
but my Lord helped me.
14God my salvation is become,
my strength and song is he.
15In dwellings of the righteous
is heard the melody
Of joy and health: the Lord's right hand
doth ever valiantly.
16The right hand of the mighty Lord
exalted is on high;
The right hand of the mighty Lord
doth ever valiantly.
17I shall not die, but live,
and shall the works of God discover.
18The Lord hath me chastised sore,
but not to death giv'n over.
19O set ye open unto me
the gates of righteousness;
Then will I enter into them,
and I the Lord will bless.
20This is the gate of God, by it
the just shall enter in.
21Thee will I praise, for thou me heard'st
and hast my safety been.
22That stone is made head corner-stone,
which builders did despise:
23This is the doing of the Lord,
and wondrous in our eyes.
24This is the day God made, in it
we'll joy triumphantly.
25Save now, I pray thee, Lord; I pray,
send now prosperity.
26Blessed is he in God's great name
that cometh us to save:
We, from the house which to the Lord
pertains, you blessed have.
27God is the Lord, who unto us
hath made light to arise:
Bind ye unto the altar's horns
with cords the sacrifice.
28Thou art my God, I'll thee exalt;
my God, I will thee praise.
29Give thanks to God, for he is good:
his mercy lasts always.

Psalm 118
1¶ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good because his mercy endures for ever.
2Let Israel now say that his mercy endures for ever.
3Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endures for ever.
4Let those that fear the Lord say now, that his mercy is eternal.
5From a tight place I called upon JAH; and JAH answered me and set me in a wide place.
6The Lord is for me; I will not fear what man can do unto me.
7The Lord takes my part with those that help me; therefore I shall see my desire upon those that hate me.
8 It is better to wait upon the Lord than to wait upon man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
10All the nations compassed me about; but in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.
11They compassed me about; yea, they laid hold of me; but in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.
12They compassed me about like bees; they were quenched as the fire of thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.
13Thou hast thrust at me with violence that I might fall, but the Lord helped me.
14JAH is my strength and song and is become my saving health.
15The voice of singing and saving health is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17I shall not die, but live and declare the works of JAH.
18JAH has chastened me sore, but he has not given me over unto death.
19¶ Open unto me the gates of righteousness; I will go in through them; I will praise JAH.
20This gate is of the Lord; the righteous shall enter in.
21I will praise thee; for thou hast heard me and art become my saving health.
22The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.
23This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, cause us now to prosper.
26Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord; from the house of the Lord we bless you.
27God is the Lord, who has shined on us; bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28Thou art my God, and I will praise thee; thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.
