Psalm 118

NASB

Psalm 118

Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.

^{Tools
1}

^(A)Give thanks to the Lord, for ^(B)He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

^{Tools
2}

Oh let ^(C)Israel say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

^{Tools
3}

Oh let the ^(D)house of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

^{Tools
4}

Oh let those ^(E)who ^(a)fear the Lord say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

^{Tools
5}

From my ^(F)distress I called upon ^(b)the Lord;
^(c)The Lord answered me and ^(G)set me in a large place.

^{Tools
6}

The Lord is ^(H)for me; I will ^(I)not fear;
^(J)What can man do to me?

^{Tools
7}

The Lord is for me ^(K)among those who help me;
Therefore I will ^(L)look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

^{Tools
8}

It is ^(M)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.

^{Tools
9}

It is ^(N)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.

^{Tools
10}

All nations ^(O)surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will surely ^(P)cut them off.

^{Tools
11}

They ^(Q)surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.

^{Tools
12}

They surrounded me ^(R)like bees;
They were extinguished as a ^(S)fire of thorns;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.

^{Tools
13}

You ^(T)pushed me violently so that I ^(d)was falling,
But the Lord ^(U)helped me.

^{Tools
14}

^(e)^(V)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become ^(W)my salvation.

^{Tools
15}

The sound of ^(X)joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The ^(Y)right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

^{Tools
16}

The ^(Z)right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

^{Tools
17}

I ^(AA)will not die, but live,
And ^(AB)tell of the works of ^(f)the Lord.

^{Tools
18}

^(g)The Lord has ^(AC)disciplined me severely,
But He has ^(AD)not given me over to death.

^{Tools
19}

^(AE)Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to ^(h)the Lord.

^{Tools
20}

This is the gate of the Lord;
The ^(AF)righteous will enter through it.

^{Tools
21}

I shall give thanks to You, for You have ^(AG)answered me,
And You have ^(AH)become my salvation.

^{Tools
22}

The ^(AI)stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.

^{Tools
23}

This is ⁽ⁱ⁾the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.

^{Tools
24}

This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us ^(AJ)rejoice and be glad in it.

^{Tools
25}

O Lord, ^(AK)do save, we beseech You;
O Lord, we beseech You, do send ^(AL)prosperity!

^{Tools
26}

^(AM)Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have ^(AN)blessed you from the house of the Lord.

^{Tools
27}

^(AO)The Lord is God, and He has given us ^(AP)light;
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords ^(j)to the ^(AQ)horns of the altar.

^{Tools
28}

^(AR)You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, ^(AS)I extol You.

^{Tools
29}

^(AT)Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
