Psalm 118
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good
: his mercy endures for ever.
Let Israel now proclaim
: that his mercy endures for ever.
The Lord is my strength and my song
: and has become my salvation.
The sounds of joy and deliverance
: are in the tents of the righteous.
The right hand of the Lord does mighty things
: the right hand of the Lord raises up.
I shall not die but live
: and proclaim the works of the Lord.
The Lord has disciplined me hard
: but he has not given me over to death.
Open me the gates of righteousness
: and I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord
: the righteous shall enter it.
I will praise you, for you answered me
: and have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
: has become the head of the corner.
This is the Lord’s doing
: and it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day that the Lord has made
: let us rejoice and be glad in it.
