Psalm 117 — The Holy Bible

Alleluia.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

For His mercy endures forever.

Let the house of Israel say that He is good,

For His mercy endures forever.

Let the house of Aaron say that He is good,

For His mercy endures forever.

Let all who fear the Lord say that He is good,

For His mercy endures forever.

In affliction I called upon the Lord,

And He heard me in a broad place.

The Lord is my helper;

I shall not be afraid of what man will do to me.

The Lord is my helper;

I shall look upon my enemies.

It is good to trust in the Lord

Rather than to trust in man;

It is good to hope in the Lord

Rather than to hope in rulers.

All the nations surrounded me,

But in the name of the Lord I defended myself against them;

They circled and surrounded me,

But in the name of the Lord I defended myself against them;

They surrounded me like bees around a honeycomb,

And they were inflamed like fire in a thorn bush;

But in the name of the Lord Idefended myself against them.

I was shoved and disheartened, that I might fall,

But the Lord took hold of me.

The Lord is my strength and my song,

And He became my salvation.

The sound of exceeding joy and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;

The right hand of the Lord worked its power;

The right hand of the Lord exalted me;

The right hand of the Lord worked its power.

I shall not die, but live,

And tell of the Lord's works.

The Lord chastened and corrected me,

But He did not give me up to death.

Open the gates of righteousness to me;

I will enter therein and give thanks to the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord;

The righteous shall go in through it.

I will give thanks to You, for You heard me,

And You became my salvation.

The stone the builders rejected,

the same became the head of the corner;

And this came about from the Lord,

And it is wonderful in our eyes.

This is the day the Lord made;

Let us greatly rejoice, and be glad therein.

O Lord, save us now;

O Lord, prosper us now.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;

We blessed you from the house of the Lord.

God is the Lord, and He revealed Himself to us;

Appoint a feast for yourselves, decked with branches,

Even to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I will give thanks to You;

You are my God, and I shall exalt You;

I will give thanks to You, for You heard me;

And You became my salvation.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

For His mercy endures forever.
