118:1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

118:4 Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

118:5 I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

118:6 The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

118:7 The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.

118:8 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.

118:9 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.

118:10 All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

118:11 They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

118:12 They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

118:13 I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

118:14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

118:15 The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.

118:16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.

118:17 Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.

118:18 The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.

118:19 Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.

118:20 This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.

118:21 I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.

118:22 The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.

118:23 This is the Lord's doing; it is a wonder in our eyes.

118:24 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.

118:25 Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.

118:26 A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.

118:27 The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.

118:28 You are my God, and I will give you praise; my God, and I will give honour to your name.

118:29 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
