O praise the Lord, for he is good

Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1,2 O praise the Lord, for he is good, his Mercies ne'er decay: That his kind Favours ever last let thankful Isr'el say. 3,4 Their Sense of his eternal Love, let Aaron's House express; And that it never fails, let all that fear the Lord, confess. 5 To God I made my humble Moan, with Troubles quite opprest; And he releas'd me from my Straits, and granted my Request. 6 Since therefore God does on my Side so graciously appear, Why should the vain Attempts of Men possess my Soul with Fear? 7 Since God with those that aid my Cause vouchsafes my Part to take, To all my Foes, I need not doubt, a just Return to make. 8,9 For better 'tis to trust in God, and have the Lord our Friend, Than on the greatest human Pow'r for Safety to depend. 10,11 Tho' many Nations closely leagu'd, did oft beset me round; yet by his boundless Pow'r sustain'd, I did their Strength confound. 12 They swarm'd like Bees, and yet their Rage was but a short-liv'd blaze; For whilst on God I still rely'd, I vanquish'd them with Ease. 13 When all united press'd me hard, in hopes to make me fall; The Lord vouchsaf'd to take my part, and sav'd me from them all. 14 The Honour of my strange Escape to him alone belongs; He is my Saviour and my Strength, he only claims my Songs. 15 Joy fills the Dwelling of the Just, whom God has sav'd from Harm; For wond'rous Things are brought to pass by his Almighty Arm. 16 He, by his own resistless Pow'r, has endless Honour won; The saving Strength of his right Hand, amazing works has done. 17 God will not suffer me to fall, but still prolongs my Days; That by declaring all his works I may advance his Praise. 18 When God has sorely me chastiz'd, till quite of Hopes bereav'd, His Mercy from the Gates of Death my fainting Life repriev'd. 19 Then open wide the Temple Gates to which the Just repair, That I may enter in and praise my great Deliv'rer there. 20,21 Within those Gates of God's Abode to which the Righteous press, Since thou hast heard, and set me safe, thy holy Name I'll bless. 22,23 That which the Builders once refus'd, is now the Corner Stone. This is the wond'rous Work of God, the Work of God alone. 24,25 This Day is God's; let all the land exalt their chearful Voice; Lord, we beseech thee, save us now, and make us still rejoice. 26 Him that approaches in God's Name, let all th' Assembly bless; "We that belong to God's own House "have wish'd you good Success." 27 God is the Lord, through whom we all both Light and Comfort find; Fast to the Altar's Horns with Cords the chosen Victim bind. 28 Thou art my Lord, O God, and still I'll praise thy holy Name; Because thou only art my God, I'll celebrate thy Fame. 29 O then with me give Thanks to God, who still does gracious prove; And let the Tribute of our Praise be endless as his Love.

Let Christians all confess their sad division And seek the strength again as one to stand. 5 We pray that this, the day of re-creation, May hallow all the week this is to come.

Psalm 118: O praise the Lord, for he is good

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 First Line: O praise the Lord, for he is good Lyrics: 1O praise the Lord, for he is good; his mercy lasteth ever. 2Let those of Israel now say, His mercy faileth never. 3Now let the house of Aaron say, His mercy lasteth ever. 4Let those that fear the Lord now say, His mercy faileth never. 5I in distress call’d on the Lord; the Lord did answer me: He in a large place did me set, from trouble made me free. 6The mighty Lord is on my side, I will not be afraid; For any thing that man can do I shall not be dismay’d. 7The Lord doth take my part with them that help to succour me: Therefore on those that do me hate I my desire shall see. 8Better it is to trust in God than trust in man’s defence; 9Better to trust in God than make princes our confidence. 10The nations, joining all in one, did compass me about: But in the Lord’s most holy name I shall them all root out. 11They compass’d me about; I say, they compass’d me about: But in the Lord’s most holy name I shall them all root out. 12Like bees they compass’d me about; like unto thorns that flame They quenched are: for them shall I destroy in God’s own name. 13Thou sore hast thrust, that I might fall, but my Lord helped me. 14God my salvation is become, my strength and song is he. 15In dwellings of the righteous is heard the melody Of joy and health: the Lord’s right hand doth ever valiantly. 16The right hand of the mighty Lord exalted is on high; The right hand of the mighty Lord doth ever valiantly. 17I shall not die, but live, and shall the works of God discover. 18The Lord hath me chastised sore, but not to death giv’n over. 19O set ye open unto me the gates of righteousness; Then will I enter into them, and I the Lord will bless. 20This is the gate of God, by it the just shall enter in. 21Thee will I praise, for thou me heard’st and hast my safety been. 22That stone is made head corner-stone, which builders did despise: 23This is the doing of the Lord, and wondrous in our eyes. 24This is the day God made, in it we’ll joy triumphantly. 25Save now, I pray thee, Lord; I pray, send now prosperity. 26Blessed is he in God’s great name that cometh us to save: We, from the house which to the Lord pertains, you blessed have. 27God is the Lord, who unto us hath made light to arise: Bind ye unto the altar’s horns with cords the sacrifice. 28Thou art my God, I’ll thee exalt; my God, I will thee praise. 29Give thanks to God, for he is good: his mercy lasts always.
