Psalm 118 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Thanksgiving for the LORDS Saving Goodness.

Psa 118:1

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;

For His mercy is everlasting.

Psa 118:2

Let Israel say,

“His mercy is everlasting.”

Psa 118:3

Oh let the house of Aaron say,

“His mercy is everlasting.”

Psa 118:4

Let those who [fn]fear the LORD say,

“His mercy is everlasting.”

Psa 118:5

From my distress I called upon [fn]the LORD;

[fn]The LORD answered me and put me in an open space.

Psa 118:6

The LORD is for me; I will not fear;

What can man do to me?

Psa 118:7

The LORD is for me among those who help me;

Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

Psa 118:8

It is better to take refuge in the LORD

Than to trust in people.

Psa 118:9

It is better to take refuge in the LORD

Than to trust in noblemen.

Psa 118:10

All nations surrounded me;

In the name of the LORD I will certainly fend them off.

Psa 118:11

They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;

In the name of the LORD I will certainly fend them off.

Psa 118:12

They surrounded me like bees;

They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes;

In the name of the LORD I will certainly fend them off.

Psa 118:13

You pushed me violently so that I [fn]was falling,

But the LORD helped me.

Psa 118:14

[fn]The LORD is my strength and song,

And He has become my salvation.

Psa 118:15

The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;

The right hand of the LORD performs valiantly.

Psa 118:16

The right hand of the LORD is exalted;

The right hand of the LORD performs valiantly.

Psa 118:17

I will not die, but live,

And tell of the works of [fn]the LORD.

Psa 118:18

[fn]The LORD has disciplined me severely,

But He has not turned me over to death.

Psa 118:19

Open the gates of righteousness to me;

I will enter through them, I will give thanks to [fn]the LORD.

Psa 118:20

This is the gate of the LORD;

The righteous will enter through it.

Psa 118:21

I will give thanks to You, for You have answered me,

And You have become my salvation.

Psa 118:22

A stone which the builders rejected

Has become the [fn]chief cornerstone.

Psa 118:23

This came about from the LORD;

It is marvelous in our eyes.

Psa 118:24

This is the day which the LORD has made;

Let’s rejoice and be glad in it.

Psa 118:25

Please, O LORD, do save us;

Please, O LORD, do send prosperity!

Psa 118:26

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD;

We have blessed you from the house of the LORD.

Psa 118:27

The LORD is God, and He has given us light;

Bind the festival sacrifice [fn]to the horns of the altar with cords.

Psa 118:28

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;

You are my God, I exalt You.

Psa 118:29

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;

For His mercy is everlasting.
