Text for Sunday, April 1

Psalm 118

A Song of Victory


O give thanks to the 
Lord, for he is good;
   his steadfast love endures for ever! 

Let Israel say,
   ‘His steadfast love endures for ever.’
Let the house of Aaron say,
   ‘His steadfast love endures for ever.’
Let those who fear the 
Lord say,
   ‘His steadfast love endures for ever.’ 

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

All nations surrounded me;
   in the name of the 
Lord I cut them off!
They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
   in the name of the 
Lord I cut them off!
They surrounded me like bees;
   they blazed like a fire of thorns;
   in the name of the 
Lord I cut them off!
I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,
   but the 
Lord helped me.
The 
Lord is my strength and my might;
   he has become my salvation. 

There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:
‘The right hand of the 
Lord does valiantly;
   the right hand of the 
Lord is exalted;
   the right hand of the 
Lord does valiantly.’
I shall not die, but I shall live,
   and recount the deeds of the 
Lord.
The 
Lord has punished me severely,
   but he did not give me over to death. 

Open to me the gates of righteousness,
   that I may enter through them
   and give thanks to the 
Lord

This is the gate of the 
Lord;
   the righteous shall enter through it. 

I thank you that you have answered me
   and have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
   has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the 
Lord’s doing;
   it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day that the 
Lord has made;
   let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Save us, we beseech you, O 
Lord!
   O 
Lord, we beseech you, give us success! 

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the 
Lord.
   We bless you from the house of the 
Lord.
The 
Lord is God,
   and he has given us light.
Bind the festal procession with branches,
   up to the horns of the altar. 

You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
   you are my God, I will extol you. 

O give thanks to the 
Lord, for he is good,
   for his steadfast love endures for ever.
