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 Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end.
2Israel say now, for he is good; for his mercy is without end.
3The house of Aaron say now; for his mercy is without end.
4They that dread the Lord, say now; for his mercy is without end.
5 Out Of tribulation I inwardly called the Lord; and the Lord heard me in largeness.
6The Lord is an helper to me; I shall not dread what man shall do to me.
7The Lord is an helper to me; and I shall despise mine enemies.
8It is better to trust in the Lord; than for to trust in man.
9It is better for to hope in the Lord; than to hope in princes.
10All folks encompassed me; and in the name of the Lord it befelled, for I am avenged on them.
11They compassing encompassed me; and in the name of the Lord, for I am avenged on them.
12They encompassed me as bees, and they burnt out as fire among thorns; and in the name of the Lord, for I am avenged on them.
13I was hurled, and turned upside-down, that I should fall down; and the Lord took me up.
14The Lord is my strength, and my praising; and he is made to me into health.
15The voice of full out joying and of health; be in the tabernacles of just [or rightwise] men. The right hand of the Lord hath done virtue,
16the right hand of the Lord en-hanced me; the right hand of the Lord hath done virtue.
17I shall not die, but I shall live; and I shall tell the works of the Lord.
18The Lord chastising hath chastised me; and he gave not me to death.
19Open ye to me the gates of rightfulness [or rightwiseness], and I shall enter by those [or them], and I shall acknowledge to the Lord;
20this gate is of the Lord, and just [or rightwise] men shall enter by it.
21I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou heardest me; and art made to me into health.
22The stone which the builders reproved; this is made into the head of the corner.
23This thing is made of the Lord; and it is wonderful before our eyes.
24This is the day which the Lord made; make we full out joy, and be we glad therein.
25O! Lord, make thou me safe, O! Lord, make thou well prosperity;
26blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. We blessed you of the house of the Lord;
27God is Lord, and he hath given light to us. Ordain ye a solemn day in thick peoples; till to the horns of the altar.
28Thou art my God, and I shall acknowledge to thee; thou art my God, and I shall enhance thee. I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou heardest me; and thou art made to me into health.
29Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end.
