118 O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

“His lovingkindness endures forever.”

“His lovingkindness endures forever.”

“His lovingkindness 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 [mere] man do to me?^(A)

The Lord is on my side, He is among those who help me;
Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.
⁸
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.
