Psalms 117
1Alleluia. 1 Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: 1 For his mercy endures forever. 1
2Let now the house of Israel say, that he is good: 1 For his mercy endures forever. 1
3Let now the house of Aaron say, that he is good: 1 For his mercy endures forever. 1
4Let now all that fear the Lord say, that he is good: 1 For his mercy endures forever. 1
5I called on the Lord out of affliction: 1 And he hearkened to me, so as to bring me into a wide place. 1
6The Lord is my helper; 1 And I will not fear what man shall do to me. 1
7The Lord is my helper; 1 And I shall see my desire upon mine enemies. 1
8It is better to trust in the Lord 1 Than to trust in man. 1
9It is better to hope in the Lord, 1 Than to hope in princes. 1
10All nations compassed me about: 1 But in the name of the Lord I repulsed them. 1
11They completely compassed me about: 1 But in the name of the Lord I repulsed them. 1
12They compassed me about as bees do a honeycomb, 1 And they burst into flame as fire among thorns: 1 But in the name of the Lord I repulsed them. 1
13I was thrust, and sorely shaken, that I might fall: 1 But the Lord helped me. 1
14The Lord is my strength and my song, 1 And is become my salvation. 1
15The voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: 1 The right hand of the Lord has wrought mightily. 1
16The right hand of the Lord has exalted me: 1 The right hand of the Lord has wrought powerfully. 1
17I shall not die, but live, 1 And recount the works of the Lord. 1
18The Lord has chastened me sore: 1 But he has not given me up to death. 1
19Open to me the gates of righteousness: 1 I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord. 1
20This is the gate of the Lord: 1 The righteous shall enter by it. 1
21I will give thanks to thee; because thou hast heard me, 1 And art become my salvation. 1
22The stone which the builders rejected, 1 The same is become the head of the corner. 1
23This has been done of the Lord; 1 And it is wonderful in our eyes. 1
24This is the day which the Lord has made: 1 Let us exult and rejoice in it. 1
25O Lord, save now: 1 O Lord, send now prosperity. 1
26Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord: 1 We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. 1
27God is the Lord, and he has shined upon us: 1 Celebrate the feast with thick branches, 1 Binding the victims even to the horns of the altar. 1
28Thou art my God, and I will give thee thanks: 1 Thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. 1 I will give thanks to thee, for thou hast heard me, 1 And art become my salvation. 1
29Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: 1 For his mercy endures forever.
