1 | It is good to give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures for ever. | ← Processional Hymn for the Feast of Tabernacles. Psalm 118(v117) | |
2 | Declare it, house of Israel: his love endures for ever. | ||
3 | Declare it, house of Aaron: his love endures for ever. | ||
4 | Declare it, you that fear the LORD: his love endures for ever. | ||
5 | When in my distress I called to the LORD, his answer was to set me free. | ||
6 | The LORD is on my side, I have no fear; what can man do to me? | ||
7 | The LORD is on my side, he is my helper, and I shall gloat over my enemies. | ||
8 | It is better to find refuge in the LORD than to trust in men. | ||
9 | It is better to find refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes. | ||
10 | All nations surround me, but in the LORD's name I will drive them away. | ||
11 | They surround me on this side and on that, but in the LORD's name I will drive them away. | ||
12 | They surround me like bees at the honey; they attack me, as fire attacks brushwood, but in the LORD's name I will drive them away. | ||
13 | They thrust hard against me so that I nearly fall; but the LORD has helped me. | ||
14 | The LORD is my refuge and defence, and he has become my deliverer. | ||
15 | Hark! Shouts of deliverance in the camp of the victors ! | ||
16 | With his right hand the LORD does mighty deeds, the right hand of the LORD raises up. | ||
17 | I shall not die but live to proclaim the works of the LORD. | ||
18 | The LORD did indeed chasten me, but he did not surrender me to Death. | ||
19 | Open to me the gates of victory ; I will enter by them and praise the LORD. | ||
20 | This is the gate of the LORD; the victors shall make their entry through it. | ||
21 | I will praise thee, for thou hast answered me and hast become my deliverer. | ||
22 | The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner-stone. | ||
23 | This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. | ||
24 | This is the day on which the LORD has acted : let us exult and rejoice in it. | ||
25 | We pray thee, O LORD, deliver us; we pray thee, O LORD, send us prosperity. | ||
26 | Blessed in the name of the LORD are all who come; we bless you from the house of the LORD. | ||
27 | The LORD is God; he has given light to us, the ordered line of pilgrims by the horns of the altar. | ||
28 | Thou art my God and I will praise thee; my God, I will exalt thee. | ||
29 | It is good to give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures for ever. | ||
