O Give Thanks Unto Our God
Psalm 118
Dwight Armstrong

O give thanks unto our God; blessed be His name
His mercy shall always endure; His kindness never fails.
Let Israel confess to God, His mercy always shall endure;
Let Aaron's house-hold now repeat, His mercy never fails!

I called upon the Lord my God; in distress I cried!
He answered me and set me free; put your confidence in God.
With the Eternal on my side, why should I fear what men can do?
Trust not in princes nor in man; better far to trust in God!

All nations compassed me about, compassed me like bees;
But the Eternal is my strength; in His name I cut them off.
Open the gates of righteousness, where all the righteous enter in;
I shall not die but there shall live, and shall tell of all His works!

O give thanks unto our God; He has answered me!
He my salvation has become, He the chief, the corner-stone.
He by the builders was refused; He was rejected by His own.
God is the Lord who show'd us light; Bless-ed be the name of God!
