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
1Praise yee the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer. 2Let Israel now say, That his mercy endureth for euer. 3Let the house of Aaron nowe say, That his mercy endureth for euer. 4Let them, that feare the Lord, nowe say, That his mercie endureth for euer. 5I called vpon the Lord in trouble, and the Lord heard me, and set me at large. 6The Lord is with mee: therefore I will not feare what man can doe vnto me. 7The Lord is with mee among them that helpe me: therefore shall I see my desire vpon mine enemies. 8It is better to trust in the Lord, then to haue confidence in man. 9It is better to trust in the Lord, then to haue confidence in princes. 10All nations haue compassed me: but in the Name of the Lord shall I destroy them. 11They haue compassed mee, yea, they haue compassed mee: but in the Name of the Lord I shall destroy them. 12They came about mee like bees, but they were quenched as a fire of thornes: for in the Name of the Lord I shall destroy them. 13Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall: but the Lord hath holpen me. 14The Lord is my strength and song: for he hath beene my deliuerance. 15The voice of ioy and deliuerance shall be in the tabernacles of the righteous, saying, The right hand of the Lord hath done valiantly. 16The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord hath done valiantly. 17I shall not die, but liue, and declare the woorkes of the Lord. 18The Lord hath chastened me sore, but he hath not deliuered me to death. 19Open ye vnto me the gates of righteousnes, that I may goe into them, and praise the Lord. 20This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous shall enter into it. 21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard mee, and hast beene my deliuerance. 22The stone, which the builders refused, is the head of the corner. 23This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes. 24This is the day, which the Lord hath made: let vs reioyce and be glad in it. 25O Lord, I praie thee, saue now: O Lord, I praie thee nowe giue prosperitie. 26Blessed be he, that commeth in the Name of the Lord: wee haue blessed you out of the house of the Lord. 27The Lord is mightie, and hath giuen vs light: binde the sacrifice with cordes vnto the hornes of the altar. 28Thou art my God, and I will praise thee, euen my God: therefore I will exalt thee. 29Praise ye the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.
