118:3  Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
118:4  Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
118:5  I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
118:6  The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
118:7  The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
118:8  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

118:10  All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
118:11  They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
118:12  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.
118:13  Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
118:14  The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
118:15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
118:16  The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
118:17  I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
118:18  The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
118:20  This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
118:21  I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
118:22  The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
118:23  This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
118:24  This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
118:25  Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
118:26  Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
118:27  God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
118:28  Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
118:29  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
