Psalm 118
Bishops' Bible of 1568 Par ▾ 

The LORD Is on My Side

1O confesse you it vnto God, for he is gratious: and his mercie endureth for euer.

2Let Israel nowe confesse: that his mercie endureth for euer.

3Let the house of Aaron nowe confesse: that his mercie endureth for euer.

4Let them nowe that feare God: confesse that his mercie endureth for euer.

5I called vpon the Lorde beyng in distresse: and the Lorde hath hearde me at large.

6God is with me: I wyll not feare what man can do vnto me.

7God is with me amongst them that ayde me: therfore I shall see my desire vpon them that hate me.

8It is better to trust in God: then to put any confidence in man.

9It is better to trust in God: then to put any confidence in princes.

10All nations compassed me rounde about: but I trusted in the name of God that I shoulde destroy them.

11They kept me in on euery syde, they kept me in I say on euery syde: but I trusted in the name of God that I shoulde destroy them.

12They swarmed about me lyke bees, and they be extinguished as the fire made of thornes: for I trusted in the name of God that I should destroy them.

13Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall: but God dyd ayde me

14The Lorde is my strength and my song: and he is become my saluation.

15The voyce of a ioyfull noyse & of saluation is in the dwellynges of the ryghteous: saying the ryght hande of God bryngeth mightie thynges to passe.

16The ryght hande of God is on hygh: the right hande of God bryngeth mightie thynges to passe.

17I shall not as yet dye, but I shal liue: and I wyll declare the workes of the Lorde.

18The Lorde hath greatly chastened me: but he hath not geuen me ouer vnto death.

19Open me the gates of ryghteousnesse, I wyll enter in by them: that I may geue thankes vnto the Lorde.

20This is the gate of God: the ryghteous shall enter in by it.

21I wyll thanke thee for that thou hast heard me: and art become my saluation.

22The same stone which the buylders refused: is become the head stone of the corner.

23This was the doyng of God: and it is marueylous in our eyes.

24This is the day whiche God hath made: we wyll reioyce and be glad in it.

25O God I pray thee nowe saue vs: O God I pray thee nowe geue vs prosperous successe.

26Blessed be he that commeth in the name of God: we do blesse you out of the house of God.

27It is the Lord God who hath geuen vs lyght: bynde a sacrifice with cordes vnto the hornes of the aulter.

28Thou art my Lorde, and I wyll confesse it vnto thee: thou art my Lorde and I wyll magnifie thee.

29O confesse you it vnto God, for he is gratious: and his mercie endureth for euer.
