November 26, 2025, Psalm 118:1-29
118 Oh give
thanks to the Lord, for he is
good;
for 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 free.
6 The Lord is
on my side; I will not fear.
What can
man do to me?
7 The Lord is
on my side as my helper;
I
shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 It is
better to take refuge in the Lord
than to
trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to
trust in princes.
10 All
nations surrounded me;
in the
name of the Lord I cut
them off!
11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the
name of the Lord I cut
them off!
12 They surrounded me like bees;
they
went out like a fire among thorns;
in the
name of the Lord I cut
them off!
13 I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,
but
the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
he has
become my salvation.
15 Glad songs of salvation
are in
the tents of the righteous:
“The right hand of the Lord does
valiantly,
16 the right hand of
the Lord exalts,
the
right hand of the Lord does
valiantly!”
17 I shall
not die, but I shall live,
and recount
the deeds of the Lord.
18 The Lord has disciplined
me severely,
but he
has not given me over to death.
19 Open to
me the gates of righteousness,
that I
may enter through them
and give
thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
the
righteous shall enter through it.
21 I thank you that you have answered me
and have
become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has
become the cornerstone.
23 This is the Lord's
doing;
it is
marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us
rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save us,
we pray, O Lord!
O Lord, we pray, give us success!
26 Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We bless
you from the house of the Lord.
27 The Lord is
God,
and he
has made his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
up
to the horns of the altar!
28 You are
my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are
my God; I will extol you.
29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his
steadfast love endures forever!
DO you excitedly enter
each new day, knowing that God is its author? Or do you grudgingly rise,
prepare for another day at work and forget that God is with you every step of
the way? This is truly something to think about as we bear witness for God
throughout our day.
