CHAP. CXVIII.
1 An exhortation to praise God for his mercie. 5 The Psalmist by his experience sheweth how good it is to trust in God. 19 Under the type of the Psalmist, the comming of Christ in his kingdome is expressed.
1 O giue thankes vnto the Lord, for hee is good: because his mercie endureth for euer.1
2 Let Israel now say: that his mercy endureth for euer.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say: that his mercy endureth for euer.
4 Let them now that feare the Lord, say: that his mercy endureth for euer.
5 I called vpon the Lord in distresse: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.5
6 The Lord is on my side, I will not feare: What can man doe vnto mee?6
8 It is better to trust in the Lord: then to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord: then to put confidence in Princes.9
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the Name of the Lord, will I destroy them.10
12 They compassed mee about like Bees, they are quenched as the fire of thornes: for in the Name of the Lord I wil destroy them.12
13 Thou hast thrust sore at mee that I might fall: but the Lord helped mee.
14 The Lord is my strength and song: and is become my saluation.14
16 The Right hand of the Lord is exalted: the Right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but liue: and declare the workes of the Lord.
18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not giuen me ouer vnto death.
19 Open to mee the gates of righteousnesse: I will goe into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20 This gate of the Lord: into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee, for thou hast heard mee: and art become my saluation.
22 The stone which the builders refused: is become the head stone of the corner.22
23 This is the Lords doing: it is marueilous in our eyes.23
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will reioyce, and be glad in it.
25 Saue now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperitie.
26 Blessed be he that commeth in the Name of the Lord: wee haue blessed you out of the house of the Lord.26
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29 O giue thanks vnto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for euer.
