Psalm 118 Confitemini Domino
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is gracious; * because his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let Israel now confess that he is gracious, * and that his mercy endureth for ever.
3Let the house of Aaron now confess, * that his mercy endureth for ever.
4Yea, let them now that fear the LORD confess, * that his mercy endureth for ever.
5I called upon the LORD in trouble; * and the LORD heard me at large.
6The LORD is on my side; * I will not fear what man doeth unto me.
7The LORD taketh my part with them that help me; * therefore shall I see my desire upon mine enemies.
8It is better to trust in the LORD, * than to put any confidence in man.
9It is better to trust in the LORD, * than to put any confidence in princes.
10All nations compassed me round about; * but in the Name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11They kept me in on every side, they kept me in, I say, on every side; * but in the Name of the LORD will I destroy them.
12They came about me like bees, and are extinct even as the fire among the thorns; * for in the Name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall; * but the LORD was my help.
14The LORD is my strength, and my song; * and is become my salvation.
15The voice of joy and health is in the dwellings of the righteous; * the right hand of the LORD bringeth mighty things to pass.
16The right hand of the LORD hath the preeminence; * the right hand of the LORD bringeth mighty things to pass.
17I shall not die, but live, * and declare the works of the LORD.
18The LORD hath chastened and corrected me; * but he hath not given me over unto death.
19Open me the gates of righteousness, * that I may go into them, and give thanks unto the LORD.
20This is the gate of the LORD, * the righteous shall enter into it.
21I will thank thee; for thou hast heard me, * and art become my salvation.
22The same stone which the builders refused, * is become the head-stone in the corner.
23This is the LORD’S doing, * and it is marvellous in our eyes.
24This is the day which the LORD hath made; * we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25Help me now, O LORD: * O LORD, send us now prosperity.
26Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the LORD: * we have wished you good luck, we that are of the house of the LORD.
27God is the LORD, who hath showed us light: * bind the sacrifice with cords, yea, even unto the horns of the altar.
28Thou art my God, and I will thank thee; * thou art my God, and I will praise thee.
29O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is gracious, * and his mercy endureth for ever.
