New King James Version

Psalms 118:1-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!For His mercy endures forever.

2. Let Israel now say,“His mercy endures forever.”

3. Let the house of Aaron now say,“His mercy endures forever.”

4. Let those who fear the Lord now say,“His mercy endures forever.”

5. I called on the Lord in distress;The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.

6. The Lord is on my side;I will not fear.What can man do to me?

7. The Lord is for me among those who help me;Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.

8. It is better to trust in the LordThan to put confidence in man.

9. It is better to trust in the LordThan to put confidence in princes.

10. All nations surrounded me,But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

11. They surrounded me,Yes, they surrounded me;But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
