New Testament

Psalms 118:1-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

2. Oh let Israel say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting."

3. Oh let the house of Aaron say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting."

4. Oh let those who fear the Lord say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting."

5. From my distress I called upon the Lord; The Lord answered me and set me in a large place.

6. The Lord is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?

7. The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

8. It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in man.

9. It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in princes.

10. All nations surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.

11. They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.

12. They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished as a fire of thorns; In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.

13. You pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the Lord helped me.

14. The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.
