Psalm 118:1-9

[1] O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his steadfast love endures forever!

[2] Let Israel say,
"His steadfast love endures forever."
[3] Let the house of Aaron say,
"His steadfast love endures forever."
[4] Let those who fear the LORD say,
"His steadfast love endures forever."

[5] Out of my distress I called on the LORD;
the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.
[6] With the LORD on my side I do not fear.
What can mortals do to me?
[7] The LORD is on my side to help me;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
[8] It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to put confidence in mortals.
[9] It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to put confidence in princes.
