Psalms 118 An Alleluia. O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for he is good: for to everlasting his mercy endureth.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ An Alleluia. O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for he is good: for to everlasting his mercy endureth. ² let the house of Israel say, For he is good. For to everlasting his mercy endureth. ³ O! let the house of Aaron say, For he is good. For to everlasting his mercy endureth. ⁴ Let all who fear the Lord say, For he is good. For to everlasting his mercy endureth. ⁵ Because of affliction I called on the Lord, and he heard me for enlargement. ⁶ Having the Lord for my helper, I will not fear what man can do to me. ⁷ Having the Lord for my helper, I shall look down on mine enemies. ⁸ It is better to confide in the Lord than to confide in man; ⁹ it is better to trust the Lord than put confidence in princes. ¹⁰ All the nations compassed me about: but by the name of the Lord I was avenged of them. ¹¹ Compassing me about they beset me, but by the name of the Lord I was avenged of them. ¹² They encompassed me as bees do a honey comb: and blazed furiously like fire among thorns; but by the name of the Lord I was avenged of them. ¹³ Being hard pressed, I was on the point of falling: but the Lord himself supported me. ¹⁴ The Lord is my strength and my song of praise; he indeed was my salvation; ¹⁵ A sound of joy and deliverance in the tents of the righteous! The right hand of the Lord hath exerted power! ¹⁶ The right hand of the Lord hath exalted me; the right hand of the Lord hath exerted power. ¹⁷ I shall not die: but live and proclaim the works of the Lord. ¹⁸ With correction, the Lord corrected me: but did not deliver me up to death. ¹⁹ Open for me the gates of righteousness, and I will go in at them and give thanks to the Lord. ²⁰ This is the gate of the Lord, at it the righteous are to enter. ²¹ I will praise thee because thou didst hear me, and hast been unto me salvation. ²² The stone which the builders rejected, was the very one for the head of the corner. ²³ This [salvation] was from the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes. ²⁴ This is the day which the Lord made: on it let us rejoice and be glad. ²⁵ Lord save, I beseech thee: Lord, I beseech thee, prosper. ²⁶ Blessed be he who is coming in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you of the house of the Lord. ²⁷ God is Lord, and he hath shined upon us. Solemnize a festival with thick boughs, even to the horns of the altar. ²⁸ Thou art my God and I will praise thee; thou art my God and I will exalt thee: I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me; and hast been unto me salvation. ²⁹ O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for to everlasting his mercy endureth.
