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.

Psalms 118
118
His Chesed Endures Forever
1Praise Adonai, for He is good, for His lovingkindness endures forever.
2O let Israel say: For His lovingkindness endures forever.
3O let the house of Aaron say: For His lovingkindness endures forever.
4O let those who fear Adonai say: For His lovingkindness endures forever.
5Out of a tight place I called on Adonai— Adonai answered me with a spacious place.
6Adonai is for me—I will not fear! What can man do to me?
7Adonai is for me, as my helper. I will see the downfall of those who hate me.
8It is better to take refuge in Adonai than to trust in man.
9It is better to take refuge in Adonai than to trust in princes.
10All nations surrounded me— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
11They surrounded me, yes, all around me— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
12They swarmed around me like bees— they were extinguished like burning thorns— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
13You pushed me hard to make me fall, but Adonai helped me.
14Adonai is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.
15Shouts of joy and victory are in the tents of the righteous: “Adonai’s right hand is mighty!
16Adonai’s right hand is lifted high! Adonai’s right hand is mighty!”
17I will not die, but live, and proclaim what Adonai has done!
18Adonai has chastened me hard, but has not given me over to death.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and praise Adonai.
20This is the gate of Adonai— the righteous will enter through it.
21I give You thanks, because You have answered me and have become my salvation.
22The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.
23It is from Adonai: it is marvelous in our eyes!
24This is the day that Adonai has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
25Hoshia-na! Please, Adonai, save now! We beseech You, Adonai, prosper us!
26Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai— Blessed is He who comes in the Name of Adonai. We bless you from the House of Adonai.
27Adonai is God, and He has given us light. Join the festival with branches, up to the horns of the altar.
28You are my God, and I praise You. You are my God—I exalt You!
29Praise Adonai, for He is good, for His lovingkindness endures forever.
