Psalms 118
118
Glorious Thanksgiving
A praise psalm # 118 This is the psalm or hymn that Jesus likely sang after the Passover supper with his disciples, before making his way to Gethsemane and Calvary.
1Keep on giving your thanks to God, for he is so good!
His constant, tender love lasts forever!
2Let all his princely people sing,
“His constant, tender love lasts forever!”
3Let all his holy priests sing,
“His constant, tender love lasts forever!”
4Let all his lovers who bow low before him sing,
“His constant, tender love lasts forever!”
5Out of my deep anguish and pain I prayed,
and God, you helped me as a father.
You came to my rescue and broke open the way
into a beautiful and broad place.
6Now I know, Lord, that you are for me,
and I will never fear what man can do to me.
7For you stand beside me as my hero who rescues me.
I’ve seen with my own eyes the defeat of my enemies.
I’ve triumphed over them all!
8Lord, it is so much better to trust in you to save me
than to put my confidence in someone else.
9Yes, it is so much better to trust in the Lord to save me
than to put my confidence in celebrities.
10Once I was hemmed in and surrounded by those
who don’t love you.
But by Yahweh’s supernatural power I overcame them all!
11-12Yes, they surrounded me,
like a swarm of killer bees swirling around me.
I was trapped like one trapped by a raging fire;
I was surrounded with no way out and at the point of collapse.
But by Yahweh’s supernatural power, I overcame them all!
13They pushed me right up to the edge, and I was ready to fall,
but you helped me to triumph, and together we overcame them all.
14Lord, you are my true strength and my glory-song,
my champion, my Savior!
15The joyful songs I now sing will be sung again
in the hearts and homes of all your devoted lovers.
My loud shouts of victory will echo throughout the land. # 118:15 Or “in the tents of the righteous.”
For Yahweh’s right hand conquers valiantly!
16The right hand of Yahweh exalts!
The right hand of Yahweh will never fail.
17You will not let them kill me,
but I will live to tell the world what the Lord has done for me.
18Yes, the Lord punished me as I deserved,
but he’ll never give me over to death.
19Swing wide, you gates of righteousness, and let me pass through,
and I will enter into God’s presence to worship only him.
20I have found the gateway to God,
the pathway to his presence for all his devoted lovers.
21I will offer all my loving praise to you,
and I thank you so much for answering my prayer
and bringing me salvation!
22The very stone the masons rejected as flawed
has turned out to be the most important capstone of the arch, # 118:22 The words “capstone of the arch” can also be translated “head of the corner.”
holding up the very house of God.
23The Lord himself is the one who has done this,
and it’s so amazing, so marvelous to see!
24This is the very day of the Lord that brings
gladness and joy, filling our hearts with glee.
25O God, please come and save us again;
bring us your breakthrough-victory!
26Blessed is this one who comes to us, the sent one of the Lord.
And from within the temple we cry, “We bless you!”
27-28For the Lord our God has brought us his glory-light.
I offer him my life in joyous sacrifice.
Tied tightly to your altar, I will bring you praise.
For you are the God of my life and I lift you high,
exalting you to the highest place.
29So let’s keep on giving our thanks to God, for he is so good!
His constant, tender love lasts forever!

PSALM 118
Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.
1O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
2Oh let Israel say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
3Oh let the house of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
4Oh let those who [reverently] fear the Lord, say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
5Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
The Lord answered me and set me free.
6The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can [mere] man do to me?
7The Lord is on my side, He is among those who help me;
Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.
8It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.
10All nations encompassed me;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
11They encompassed me, yes, they surrounded me [on every side];
In the name of the Lord I will cut them off.
12They swarmed around me like bees;
They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
13You [my enemy] pushed me violently so that I was falling,
But the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15The sound of joyful shouting and salvation 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 will not die, but live,
And declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord.
18The Lord has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
19Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord.
20This is the gate of the Lord;
The righteous will enter through it.
21I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me;
And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior].
22The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the #This refers either to the prominent stone at the top of a corner tower, or perhaps more likely to the stone at the foundation of a corner, the first stone laid for a structure (cf Eph 2:20). The special significance of the latter is that the shape of its sides determined how the walls were laid out. The verse refers prophetically to Jesus the Messiah (see Matt 21:42 etc.), but the ancient rabbis interpreted it as a reference to David, who started as a humble shepherd, not the background one would expect for a king. Some prophetic passages refer to an event in the past that is a precursor or foreshadowing of the future prophetic event.chief corner stone.
23This is from the Lord and is His doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25O Lord, save now, we beseech You;
O Lord, we beseech You, send now prosperity and give us success!
26Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship].
27The Lord is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy].
Bind the festival sacrifices with #Lit branches. In Jewish tradition this is interpreted as a ritual for the Feast of Booths. The term “festival” is understood as a reference to the lulav, several branches bound together and later placed against the altar so that they reach to the top of the horns and bend over the altar.cords to the horns of the altar.
28You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
[You are] my God, I extol You.
29O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
