PSALM 118

The Mercy of The LORD is unto the Eon

Alleluiah

1Make acknowledgment to the lord, for he is good, for into the eon is  his mercy! 2Say indeed, O house of Israel, that he is good, for into the eon   is his mercy! 3Say indeed, O house of Aaron, that he is good, for into the eon is  his mercy! 4Say indeed, all the ones fearing the lord, that he is good, for into the eon is  his mercy! 5From out of affliction I called upon the lord, and he heeded me in an enlargement. 6The lord  to me is a helper; and I shall not fear what [²shall do ³to me ¹man]. 7The lord  to me is a helper, and I will scrutinize   my enemies. 8It is good to yield unto the lord, than to yield unto man. 9It is good to hope upon the lord, than to hope upon rulers. 10All the nations encircled me, and in the name of the lord  I repulsed them. 11In encircling, they encircled me; and in the name of the lord  I repulsed them. 12They encircled me as bees at a honeycomb; and they burned away as fire among thorn-bushes; and in the name of the lord  I repulsed them. 13Being thrust through, I was prostrated   to fall, and the lord  took hold of me. 14[³is my strength ⁴and ⁵my singing of praise ¹The ² lord]; and he became to me for deliverance; 15a voice of exultation and deliverance in the tents of the just. The right hand  of the lord  acted in power. 16The right hand  of the lord  exalted me. The right hand  of the lord  acted in power. 17I shall not die, but I shall live; and I shall describe the works of the lord. 18In correcting, [³corrected ⁴me ¹the ² lord]; and [³to  ⁴death ¹he shall not ²deliver me]. 19Open to me the gates of righteousness, and entering in them I shall confess to the lord. 20This is  the gate of the lord; the just shall enter in it. 21I shall confess to you, for you took heed of me, and you became for me as deliverance. 22The stone which [³rejected ¹the ²builders], this one became for the head of the corner. 23[²by ³the lord  ¹This happened], and it is wonderful in our eyes. 24This is the day which [³made ¹the ² lord], we shall exult and be glad in it. 25O lord, deliver indeed! O lord, prosper the way indeed! 26Being blessed is the one coming in the name of the lord. We blessed you from out of the house of the lord. 27God is the lord, and he shined upon us. Stand together for a holiday with the ones making dense the victims  unto the horns of the altar. 28[²my God ¹You are], and I shall confess to you. [²my God ¹You are], and I will exalt you. I will confess to you, for you took heed of me; and you became to me for deliverance. 29I will confess to the lord, for he is good, for into the eon   is his mercy.
