Psalm 118
King James Version
118 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

But the Lord helped me.

(Z)You are my God, I will exalt You.
29 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Nuova Riveduta 1994
Lode a Dio per la sua misericordia e bontà
118 (A)Celebrate il Signore,
perché egli è buono,
perché la sua bontà dura in eterno.
2 Sí, dica *Israele:
«La sua bontà dura in eterno».
3 Sí, dica la casa d'*Aaronne:
«La sua bontà dura in eterno».
4 Sí, dicano quelli che temono
il Signore:
«La sua bontà dura in eterno».
5 Nella mia angoscia invocai
il Signore;
il Signore mi rispose e mi portò
in salvo.
6 Il Signore è per me; io non temerò;
che cosa può farmi l'uomo[a]?
7 Il Signore è per me, fra i miei
soccorritori,
e io vedrò quanto desidero sui miei
nemici.
8 È meglio rifugiarsi nel Signore
che confidare nell'uomo;
9 è meglio rifugiarsi nel Signore
che confidare nei príncipi.
10 Tutte le nazioni m'avevano
circondato;
nel nome del Signore, eccole da me
sconfitte.
11 M'avevano circondato, sí,
m'avevano accerchiato;
nel nome del Signore, eccole da me
sconfitte.
12 M'avevano circondato come api,
ma sono state spente come fuoco
di spine;
nel nome del Signore io le ho sconfitte.
13 Tu mi avevi spinto con violenza
per farmi cadere,
ma il Signore mi ha soccorso.
14 Il Signore è la mia forza e il mio
cantico,
egli è stato la mia salvezza.
15 Un grido d'esultanza e di vittoria
risuona nelle tende dei giusti:
«La destra del Signore fa prodigi.
16 La destra del Signore si è alzata,
la destra del Signore fa prodigi».
17 Io non morirò, anzi vivrò,
e racconterò le opere del Signore.
18 Certo, il Signore mi ha castigato,
ma non mi ha dato in balía della morte.
19 Apritemi le porte della giustizia;
io vi entrerò, e celebrerò il Signore.
20 Questa è la porta del Signore;
i giusti entreranno per essa.
21 Ti celebrerò perché mi hai risposto
e sei stato la mia salvezza.
22 La pietra che i costruttori avevano disprezzata
è divenuta la pietra angolare.
23 Questa è opera del Signore,
è cosa meravigliosa agli occhi nostri[b].
24 Questo è il giorno che il Signore
ci ha preparato;
festeggiamo e rallegriamoci in esso.
25 O Signore, dacci la salvezza!
O Signore, facci prosperare!
26 Benedetto colui che viene nel nome del Signore.
Noi vi benediciamo dalla casa del
Signore[c].
27 Il Signore è Dio e risplende su
di noi;
legate la vittima della solennità
e portatela ai corni dell'altare.
28 Tu sei il mio Dio, io ti celebrerò;
tu sei il mio Dio, io ti esalterò.
29 Celebrate il Signore, poiché
è buono,
perché la sua bontà dura in eterno.
