King James Version (1611 Edition)

Psalms 118

1 O giue thankes vnto the Lord, for hee is good: because his mercie endureth for euer. 2 Let Israel now say: that his mercy endureth for euer. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say: that his mercy endureth for euer. 4 Let them now that feare the Lord, say: that his mercy endureth for euer. 5 I called vpon the Lord in distresse: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The Lord is on my side, I will not feare: What can man doe vnto mee? 7 The Lord taketh my part with them that helpe me: therfore shall I see my desire vpon them that hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the Lord: then to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the Lord: then to put confidence in Princes. 10 All nations compassed me about: but in the Name of the Lord, will I destroy them. 11 They compassed mee about, yea they compassed mee about: but in the Name of the Lord, I will destroy them. 12 They compassed mee about like Bees, they are quenched as the fire of thornes: for in the Name of the Lord I wil destroy them. 13 Thou hast thrust sore at mee that I might fall: but the Lord helped mee. 14 The Lord is my strength and song: and is become my saluation. 15 The voice of reioycing and saluation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the Right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. 16 The Right hand of the Lord is exalted: the Right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but liue: and declare the workes of the Lord. 18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not giuen me ouer vnto death.

19 Open to mee the gates of righteousnesse: I will goe into them, and I will praise the Lord: 20 This gate of the Lord: into which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will praise thee, for thou hast heard mee: and art become my saluation. 22 The stone which the builders refused: is become the head stone of the corner. 23 This is the Lords doing: it is marueilous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will reioyce, and be glad in it. 25 Saue now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperitie. 26 Blessed be he that commeth in the Name of the Lord: wee haue blessed you out of the house of the Lord. 27 God is the Lord, which hath shewed vs light, bind the sacrifice with cords: euen vnto the horns of the Altar. 28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 29 O giue thanks vnto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for euer.
