Psalm 118
Confitemini Domino

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
for his love endures for ever.

Let the sons of Israel say:
His love endures for ever.

Let the sons of Aaron say:
His love endures for ever.

Let those who fear the Lord say:
His love endures for ever.

I called to the Lord in my distress;
he answered and freed me.

The Lord is at my side; I do not fear.
what can man do against me?

The Lord is at my side as my helper;
I shall look down on my foes.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in men;

it is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.

II.

The nations all encompassed me;
in the Lord's name I crushed them.

They compassed me, compassed me about;
in the Lord's name I crushed them.

They compassed me about like bees;
they blazed like a fire among thorns.
In the Lord's name I crushed them.

I was thrust down, thrust down and falling,
but the Lord was my helper.

The Lord is my strength and my song;
he was my savior.

There are shouts of joy and victory
in the tents of the just.

The Lord's right hand has triumphed;

his right hand raised me.
The Lord's right hand has triumphed;

I shall not die, I shall live
and recount his deeds.

I was punished, I was punished by the Lord,
but not doomed to die.

III.

Open to me the gates of holiness:
I will enter and give thanks.

This is the Lord's own gate
where the just may enter.

I will thank you for you have answered
and you are my savior.

The stone which the builders rejected
has become the corner stone.

This is the work of the Lord,
a marvel in our eyes.

This day was made by the Lord;
we rejoice and are glad.

O Lord, grant us salvation;
O Lord, grant success.

Blessed in the name of the Lord
is he who comes.
We bless you from the house of the Lord;

the Lord God is our light.

Go forward in procession with branches
even to the altar.

You are my God, I thank you.
My God, I praise you.

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good;
for his love endures for ever.
