Praise the Lord!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endures forever.  Let all who fear the Lord repeat: "His faithful love endures forever."  In my distress I prayed to the Lord , and the Lord answered me and set me free.  The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.  What can mere people do to me?  Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me.  I will look in triumph at those who hate me.  It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord rescued me.  The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.  Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly.  The strong right arm of he Lord has done glorious things!  The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph.  I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done.  The Lord has punished me severely, but he did not let me die.  Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord.  I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory!  This is the day the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it.  Please, Lord, please save us.  Please, Lord, please give us success.  The Lord is God shining upon us.  You are my God, and I will praise you!  You are my God, and I will exalt you!  Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endues forever. (Psalm 118:1,4-8,13-16a-19,21,24&25,27a,28&29/NLT)
