Psalm 118
A Psalm of Thanksgiving and Deliverance
Give thanks to the LORD, for the LORD is good;
for the LORD’s steadfast love endures forever.
Let Israel say,
“The LORD’s steadfast love endures forever.”
Let the house of Aaron say,
“The LORD’s steadfast love endures forever.”
Let those who fear the LORD say,
“The LORD’s steadfast love endures forever.”
Out of distress I called on the LORD;
the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.
The LORD is for me; I will not fear.
What can mortals do to me?
The LORD is for me among those who help me;
therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in mortals.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes.
