Psalms 118:4-24

Psalms 118:4-24

[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:  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  [11] They compassed me about;  but in the name  of the LORD  I will destroy  [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  [13] Thou hast thrust  at me that I might fall:  but the LORD  helped  [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  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.
