Psalm 118 — Your Mercy is Forever
A Kyrielle
My enemy surrounded me,
A swarm of hornets seeking blood,
But they could do nothing to me.
Give thanks to God; Your mercy is forever.
They pushed me hard that I might fall,
But You, my God, my strength, my song,
You lifted me and made me tall.
Give thanks to God; Your mercy is forever.
I shall not die, but live with You,
For You have opened up the gates:
You flung them wide, let all come through.
Give thanks to God; Your mercy is forever.
The Stone the builders tossed aside
Stands firm, the central Cornerstone
Enwrapped in rainbow light: Your Pride.
Give thanks to God; Your mercy is forever.
