Bible in a year reading for day 187.
Psalms 118
- 2 Let Israel say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”
- 3 Let the house of Aaron say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”
- 4 Let those who fear the LORD say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”
- 5 In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered and set me free.
- 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
- 7 The LORD is on my side; He is my helper. 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.
- 9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
- 10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
- 11 They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
- 12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
- 13 I was pushed so hard I was falling, but the LORD helped me.
- 14 The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.
- 15 Shouts of joy and salvation resound in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!
- 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!”
- 17 I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done.
- 18 The LORD disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death.
- 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter and give thanks to the LORD.
- 20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.
- 21 I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation.
- 22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
- 23 This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
- 24 This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
- 25 O LORD, save us, we pray. We beseech You, O LORD, cause us to prosper!
- 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.
- 27 The LORD is God; He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
- 28 You are my God, and I will give You thanks. You are my God, and I will exalt You.
- 29 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

- 44 I will always obey Your law, forever and ever.
- 45 And I will walk in freedom, for I have sought Your precepts.
- 46 I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and I will not be ashamed.
- 47 I delight in Your commandments because I love them.
- 48 I lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love, and I meditate on Your statutes.

- 51 The arrogant utterly deride me, but I do not turn from Your law.
- 52 I remember Your judgments of old, O LORD, and in them I find comfort.
- 53 Rage has taken hold of me because of the wicked who reject Your law.
- 54 Your statutes are songs to me in the house of my pilgrimage.
- 55 In the night, O LORD, I remember Your name, that I may keep Your law.
- 56 This is my practice, for I obey Your precepts.
- 57 The LORD is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.
