¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation,

And call upon the name of the Lord.

¹⁴My vows will I pay unto the Lord,

Yea, in the presence of all His people.

 

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord

Is the death of His saints.

¹⁶I beseech Thee, O Lord, for I am Thy servant;

I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid;

Thou hast loosed my bands.

¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And will call upon the name of the Lord.

¹⁸I will pay my vows unto the Lord,

Yea, in the presence of all His people;

¹⁹In the courts of the Lord's house,

In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Hallelujah.

117 O praise the Lord, all ye nations;

Laud Him, all ye peoples.

²For His mercy is great toward us;

And the truth of the Lord endureth for ever.

Hallelujah.

118 'O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,

For His mercy endureth for ever.

²So let Israel now say,

For His mercy endureth for ever,

³So let the house of Aaron now say,

For His mercy endureth for ever.

⁴So let them now that fear the Lord say,

For His mercy endureth for ever.

 

⁵Out of my straits I called upon the Lord;

He answered me with great enlargement.

⁶The Lord is for me; I will not fear;

What can man do unto me?

⁷The Lord is for me as my helper;

And I shall gaze upon them that hate me.

⁸It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in man.

⁹It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in princes.

¹⁰All nations compass me about;

Verily, in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.

¹¹They compass me about, yea, they compass me about;

Verily, in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.

¹²They compass me about like bees;

They are quenched as the fire of thorns;

Verily, in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.

¹³Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;

But the Lord helped me.

¹⁴The Lord is my strength and song;

And He is become my salvation.

¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;

The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

¹⁶The right hand of the Lord is exalted;

The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

¹⁷I shall not die, but live,

And declare the works of the Lord.

¹⁸The Lord hath chastened me sore;

But He hath not given me over unto death.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness;

I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the Lord.

²⁰This is the gate of the Lord;

The righteous shall enter into it.
