Psalm 118: Give Thanks to the Lord
==================================
w&m: Timothy R. Smith, 1996

[Refrain]
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
his love is everlasting.

[Repeat Refrain]

[Verse 1]
Let the house of Israel say,
"His mercy endures forever."
Let the house of Aaron say,
"His mercy endures forever."
Let all those who fear the Lord say,
"His mercy endures forever."

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
I was hard pressed and falling,
but the Lord helped me.
My strength and my courage is the Lord,
and he has been my Savior.
The joyful shout of victory
in the houses of the just.

[Refrain]
The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
By the Lord has this been done;
it is wonderful, it is wonderful in our eyes.
This day the Lord has made;
let us be glad and rejoice in it.

[Refrain]
