Psalm 118

New English Translation


   1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good and his loyal love endures!
   2 Let Israel say, "Yes, his loyal love endures!"
   3 Let the family of Aaron say, "Yes, his loyal love endures!"
   4 Let the loyal followers of the LORD say, "Yes, his loyal love endures!"
   5 In my distress I cried out to the LORD. The LORD answered me and put me in a wide open place.
   6 The LORD is on my side, I am not afraid! What can people do to me?
   7 The LORD is on my side as my helper. I look in triumph on those who hate me.
   8 It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in people.
   9 It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in princes.
   10 All the nations surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away.
   11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away.
   12 They surrounded me like bees. But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away.
   13 "You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the LORD helped me.
   14 The LORD gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer."
   15 They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. The LORD's right hand conquers,
   16 the LORD's right hand gives victory, the LORD's right hand conquers.
   17 I will not die, but live, and I will proclaim what the LORD has done.
   18 The LORD severely punished me, but he did not hand me over to death.
   19 Open for me the gates of the just king's temple! I will enter through them and give thanks to the LORD.
   20 This is the LORD's gate - the godly enter through it.
   21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me, and have become my deliverer.
   22 The stone which the builders discarded has become the cornerstone.
   23 This is the LORD's work. We consider it amazing!
   24 This is the day the LORD has brought about. We will be happy and rejoice in it.
   25 Please LORD, deliver! Please LORD, grant us success!
   26 May the one who comes in the name of the LORD be blessed! We will pronounce blessings on you in the LORD's temple.
   27 The LORD is God and he has delivered us. Tie the offering with ropes to the horns of the altar!
   28 You are my God and I will give you thanks! You are my God and I will praise you!
   29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good and his loyal love endures!

King James Version


   1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
   2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
   3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
   4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
   5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
   6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
   7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
   8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
   9 It is better to trust in the LORD than 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 me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
   12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
   13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
   14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
   15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation 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 live, and declare the works of the LORD.
   18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
   19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go 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 me, and art become my salvation.
   22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
   23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
   24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
   25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
   26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
   27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto 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 give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
