Psalms 117

¹Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever

²Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever

³Let the house of Aaron now say: For his mercy is forever

⁴Let those who fear the Lord now say: For his mercy is forever

⁵In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity

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

⁷The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies

⁸It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man

⁹It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders

¹⁰All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them

¹¹Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them

¹²They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them

¹³Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up

¹⁴The Lord is my strength and my praise. And he has become my salvation

¹⁵A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just

¹⁶The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue

¹⁷I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord

¹⁸When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death

¹⁹Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord

²⁰This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it

²¹I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my salvation

²²The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner

²³By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes

²⁴This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it

²⁵O Lord, grant salvation to me. O Lord, grant good prosperity

²⁶Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you from the house of the Lord

²⁷The Lord is God, and he has enlightened us. Establish a solemn day amid a dense crowd, even to the horn of the altar

²⁸You are my God, and I will confess to you. You are my God, and I will exalt you. I will confess to you, for you have heeded me. And you have become my salvation

²⁹Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever
