Praise and Thanksgiving: Psalms 117 and 118
The script presents the full text of Psalm 117 and Psalm 118. Psalm 117 calls all nations and peoples to praise the Lord for his great merciful kindness and enduring truth. Psalm 118 gives thanks to the Lord for his goodness and everlasting mercy, invites Israel, the house of Aaron, and those who fear the Lord to repeat that mercy endures forever, and recounts calling on the Lord in distress and being answered. It contrasts trusting in the Lord with trusting in man or princes, describes being surrounded by nations yet prevailing in the Lord’s name, and affirms the Lord as strength, song, and salvation. The psalm speaks of rejoicing among the righteous, being chastened but not given over to death, and entering the gates of righteousness to praise the Lord. It includes the declaration that the rejected stone has become the cornerstone, rejoices in the day the Lord has made, asks the Lord to save and send prosperity, blesses the one who comes in the Lord’s name, and ends with worship, sacrifice at the altar, and repeated thanksgiving for the Lord’s enduring mercy.
