Psalms 118

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.

1 Chr 16.34; 2 Chr 5.13; 7.3; Ezra 3.11; Ps 100.5; 106.1; 107.1; 136.1; Jer 33.11. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:
because his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let Israel now say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
3Let the house of Aaron now say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
4Let them now that fear the Lord say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
5I called upon the Lord in distress:
the Lord answered me,
and set me in a large place.

Heb 13.6. The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?
7The Lord taketh my part with them that help me:
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that 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.
10All nations compassed me about:
but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11They compassed me about;
yea, they compassed me about:
but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12They compassed me about like bees;
they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall:
but the Lord helped me.

Exod 15.2; Isa 12.2. The Lord is my strength and song,
and is become my salvation.
15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous:
the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
16The right hand of the Lord is exalted:
the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord.
18The Lord hath chastened me sore:
but he hath not given me over unto death.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will go into them,
and I will praise the Lord:
20this gate of the Lord,
into which the righteous shall enter.
21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me,
and art become my salvation.

Matt 21.42; Mark 12.10,11. #Luke 20.17; Acts 4.11; 1 Pet 2.7. The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner.
23This is the Lord's doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Matt 21.9; Mark 11.9; John 12.13. Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord:
O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 #
Matt 21.9; 23.39; Mark 11.9; Luke 13.35; 19.38; John 12.13. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27God is the Lord, which hath showed us light:
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 endureth for ever.
