Psalm 118
Give thanks to the LORD, who is good,
whose love endures forever.
Let the house of Israel say:
God's love endures forever.
Let the house of Aaron say,
God's love endures forever.
Let those who fear the LORD say,
God's love endures forever.
In danger I called on the LORD;
the LORD answered me and set me free.
The LORD is with me; I am not afraid;
what can mortals do against me?
The LORD is with me as my helper;
I shall look in triumph on my foes.
Better to take refuge in the LORD
than to put one's trust in mortals.
Better to take refuge in the LORD
than to put one's trust in princes.
All the nations surrounded me;
in the LORD'S name I crushed them.
They surrounded me on every side;
in the LORD'S name I crushed them.
They surrounded me like bees;
they blazed like fire among thorns;
in the LORD'S name I crushed them.
I was hard pressed and falling,
but the LORD came to my help.
The LORD, my strength and might,
came to me as savior.
