Psalm
  118 (B) Prayed 
Praising Jesus for the gospel and praying for the Church 
   I give thanks to you, Lord
  Jesus, for you are good; 
            your
  love endures forever. 
   Let all the Church say: 
            “Your
  love endures forever.”  
   Let the household of God say: 
            “Your
  love endures forever.”  
   Let those who fear the Lord
  Jesus say: 
            “Your
  love endures forever.” 
   In my anguish I cried to you,
  Lord Jesus, 
            and
  you answered by setting me free.  
   Lord Jesus, you are with me; I
  will not be afraid. 
            What
  can man do to me?  
   Lord Jesus, you are with me;
  you are my helper. 
            I
  will look in triumph on my enemies. 
   It is better to take refuge
  you, Lord Jesus, 
            than
  to trust in man.  
   It is better to take refuge
  you, Lord Jesus, 
            than
  to trust in the government. 
   All the nations surrounded me, 
            but
  in the name of the Lord Jesus I cut them  
            off.
   
   They surrounded me on every
  side, 
            but
  in the name of the Lord Jesus I cut them  
            off.
   
   They swarmed around me like
  bees, 
            but
  they died out as quickly as burning thorns; 
            in
  the name of the Lord Jesus I cut them off. 
   For I will not be conformed to
  the pattern of this  
            world, 
            but
  be transformed by the renewing of my  
            mind. 
   So, may I never boast  
            except
  in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,  
   through which the world has
  been crucified to me,  
            and
  I to the world. 
   I was pushed back and about to
  fall, 
            but
  you helped me, Lord Jesus.  
   Lord Jesus, you are my strength
  and my song; 
            for
  you have become my salvation. 
   O let me shout the shouts of
  joy and victory 
            that
  resound in the homes of the righteous: 
   “The Lord Jesus’ right hand has
  done mighty  
            things!
   
            The
  Lord Jesus’ right hand is lifted high; 
            the
  Lord Jesus’ right hand has done mighty  
            things!” 
   I will not die but live, 
            and
  will proclaim what the Lord Jesus has 
            done.
   
   For since you died for all, so
  that might I live, 
            I
  will no longer live for myself, but for you,  
            for
  you died for me and rose again from the 
            grave. 
   O Lord Jesus, you have chastened me severely, 
            but
  you have not given me over to death. 
   Open for me the gates of
  righteousness; 
            I
  will enter and give thanks to you, Lord Jesus.  
   For God the Father made you,  
            who
  had no sin, 
            to
  become sin for me, 
   so that in you, 
            I
  might become the righteousness of God. 
   This is the gate of the Lord
  Jesus, 
            through
  which those you have made righteous  
            may
  enter.  
   This is the narrow gate  
            through
  which I must enter. 
   For wide is the gate and broad
  is the road  
            that
  leads to destruction,  
            and
  many enter through it.  
   But small is the gate and
  narrow the road  
            that
  leads to life,  
            and
  only a few find it. 
   I will give you thanks, for you
  answered me; 
            you
  have become my salvation. 
   Lord Jesus, you are the stone  
            which
  the builders rejected. 
            You
  have become the capstone;  
   The Father has done this, 
            and
  it is marvellous in our eyes.  
   Therefore I come to you,  
            the
  living Stone rejected by men  
            but
  chosen by God and precious to him. 
   In my local church I will come
  like a living stone, 
            ready
  to be built into a spiritual house  
            to
  be a holy priesthood,  
   offering spiritual sacrifices  
            acceptable
  to God through you, Jesus Christ. 
   Let us be built on the
  foundation of the teaching 
            of
  the apostles and prophets in the Bible,  
            with
  yourself as the chief cornerstone. 
   
   In you, may the whole building
  be joined together  
            and
  rise to become a holy temple in the Lord.  
    And in you, may we be
  built together  
            to
  become a dwelling in which God may live 
             by the Holy Spirit. 
   This is the day the Lord has
  made; 
            let
  us rejoice and be glad in it. 
   O Lord Jesus, save us; 
            O
  Lord Jesus, grant us success.  
   Blessed is he who comes in the
  name of the Lord  
            Jesus. 
            From
  the house of the Lord Jesus we bless you.  
   O Lord Jesus, you are God, 
            and
  you have made your light shine upon us. 
   As ancient Israel went with
  boughs in hand,  
            and
  joined in the festal procession to the  
            temple, 
            up
  to the horns of the altar, 
   so by faith, I join together
  with all true Christians  
             and lay hold of the cross for
  salvation. 
   You are my God, and I will give
  you thanks; 
            you
  are my God, and I will exalt you. 
   I give thanks to you, Lord
  Jesus, for you are good; 
            your
love endures forever. 
 
            his
love endures forever.
