Psalms 118:1, 5-6, 8, 13, 17, 22

Keep on giving your thanks to God, for he is so good! His constant, tender love lasts forever!

Out of my deep anguish and pain I prayed, and God, you helped me as a father. You came to my rescue and broke open the way into a beautiful and broad place. Now I know, Lord, that you are for me, and I will never fear what man can do to me.

Lord, it is so much better to trust in you to save me than to put my confidence in someone else.

They pushed me right up to the edge, and I was ready to fall, but you helped me to triumph, and together we overcame them all.

You will not let them kill me, but I will live to tell the world what the Lord has done for me.

The very stone the masons rejected as flawed has turned out to be the most important capstone of the arch, holding up the very house of God.
