Psalms 118 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

The Lord

Is Always Merciful

1

how thankful you are,

because he is kind

and always merciful.

2Let Israel shout,

“God is always merciful!”

3Let the family of Aaron

the priest shout,

“God is always merciful!”

4Let every true worshiper

of the Lord shout,

“God is always merciful!”

5When I was really hurting,

I prayed to the Lord.

He answered my prayer,

and took my worries away.

6

for protection

than to trust anyone else,

9including strong leaders.

10Nations surrounded me,

but I got rid of them

by the power of the Lord.

11They attacked from all sides,

but I got rid of them

by the power of the Lord.

12They swarmed around like bees,

but by the power of the Lord,

I got rid of them

and their fiery sting.

13Their attacks were so fierce

that I nearly fell,

but the Lord helped me.

14

how thankful I am.

20Here is the gate of the Lord!

Everyone who does right

may enter this gate.

21I praise the Lord

for answering my prayers

and saving me.

22

to let us win.

26

28The Lord is my God!

I will praise him and tell him

how thankful I am.

29Tell the Lord

how thankful you are,

because he is kind

and always merciful.
