130IMMERSE•POETSin the house of the Lordin the heart of Jerusalem.Praise the Lord!PSALM 117Praise the Lord, all you nations.Praise him, all you people of the earth.For his unfailing love for us is powerful;the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.Praise the Lord!PSALM 118Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!His faithful love endures forever.Let all Israel repeat:“His faithful love endures forever.”Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat:“His faithful love endures forever.”Let all who fear the Lord repeat:“His faithful love endures forever.”In my distress I prayed to the Lord,and the Lord answered me and set me free.The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.What can mere people do to me?Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me.I will look in triumph at those who hate me.It is better to take refuge in the Lordthan to trust in people.It is better to take refuge in the Lordthan to trust in princes.Though hostile nations surrounded me,I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.Yes, they surrounded and attacked me,but I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.They swarmed around me like bees;they blazed against me like a crackling fire.But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.116:19–118:12
