Psalms 118:13-29

118:13 “You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down,

but the Lord helped me.

118:14 The Lord gives me strength and protects me;

he has become my deliverer.”

118:15 They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly.

The Lord’s right hand conquers,

118:16 the Lord’s right hand gives victory,

the Lord’s right hand conquers.

118:17 I will not die, but live,

and I will proclaim what the Lord has done.

118:18 The Lord severely punished me,

but he did not hand me over to death.

118:19 Open for me the gates of the just king’s temple!

I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.

118:20 This is the Lord’s gate –

the godly enter through it.

118:21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me,

and have become my deliverer.

118:22 The stone which the builders discarded

has become the cornerstone.

118:23 This is the Lord’s work.

We consider it amazing!

118:24 This is the day the Lord has brought about.

We will be happy and rejoice in it.

118:25 Please Lord, deliver!

Please Lord, grant us success!

118:26 May the one who comes in the name of the Lord be blessed!

We will pronounce blessings on you in the Lord’s temple.

118:27 The Lord is God and he has delivered us.

Tie the offering with ropes

to the horns of the altar!

118:28 You are my God and I will give you thanks!

You are my God and I will praise you!

118:29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good

and his loyal love endures!
