                       O Give Thanks Unto Our God
                               Psalm 118


1.   O give thanks unto our God; blessed be His name! His mercy shall always
     endure; and His kindness never fails. Let Israel confess to God, "His mercy
     always shall endure"; Let Aaron's household now repeat, that His mercy
     never fails!

2.   I called upon the Lord my God; in distress I cried! He answered me and set
     me free; put your confidence in God. With the Eternal on my side, why
     should I fear what men can do? Trust not in princes nor in man; better far to
     trust in God!

3.   All nations compassed me about, compassed me like bees; But the Eternal
     is my strength; in His name I cut them off. Open the gates of righteousness,
     where all the righteous enter in; I shall not die, but I shall live and shall tell
     of all His works!

4.   O give thanks unto our God; He has answered me! He my salvation has
     become, He the chief, the cornerstone. He by the builders was refused; He
     was rejected by His own. God is the Lord who shows us light; blessed be
     the name of God!
