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

⁷ The Lord taketh my part with them that helpe me: therfore shall I see my desire vpon them that hate me.

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

¹¹ They compassed mee about, yea they compassed mee about: but in the Name of the Lord, I will destroy them.

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

¹⁵ The voice of reioycing and saluation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the Right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

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

²⁷ God is the Lord, which hath shewed vs light, bind the sacrifice with cords: euen vnto the horns of the Altar.

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.
