Psalms 117

¹Alleluia. Confess ye to our Lord because he is good: because his mercy is for ever.

²Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy is for ever.

³Let the house of Aaron now say: that his mercy is for ever.

⁴Let them now say which fear our Lord: that his mercy is for ever.

⁵From tribulation I invocated our Lord: and our Lord heard me in largeness.

⁶Our Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man can do to me.

⁷Our Lord is my helper: and I will look over mine enemies.

⁸It is good to hope in our Lord, rather than to hope in man.

⁹It is good to hope in our Lord, rather than to hope in Princes.

¹⁰All nations have compassed me: and in the name of our Lord am I revenged on them.

¹¹Compassing they have compassed me: and in the name of our Lord I was revenged on them.

¹²They compassed me as bees, and were inflamed as fire in thorns: and in the name of our Lord I was revenged on them.

¹³Being thrust I was overturned to fall: and our Lord received me.

¹⁴Our Lord is my strength, and my praise: and he is made my salvation.

¹⁵The voice of exultation, and of salvation in the tabernacles of the just.

¹⁶The right hand of our Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of our Lord hath exalted me, the right hand of our Lord hath wrought strength.

¹⁷I shall not die, but shall live: and I will tell the works of our Lord.

¹⁸Our Lord chastising hath chastised me: and to death he hath not delivered me.

¹⁹Open ye the gates of justice to me, being entered into them I will confess to our Lord:

²⁰this is the gate of our Lord, the just shall enter into it.

²¹I will confess to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

²²The stone, which the builders rejected: the same is made into the head of the corner.

²³This was done by our Lord: and it is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴This is the day, which our Lord made: let us rejoice, and be glad therein.

²⁵O Lord save me, o Lord give good success: Blessed be he that cometh in the name of our Lord.

²⁶We have blessed you of the house of our Lord:

²⁷our Lord is God, and he hath given light to us. Appoint a solemn day with thick boughs, even to the horn of the altar.

²⁸Thou art my God, and I will confess to thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will confess to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

²⁹Confess ye to our Lord because he is good: because his mercy is for ever.
