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.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

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.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

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.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
