Psalm 118 is the 118th psalm of the Book of Psalms. Its themes are thanksgiving to God and reliance on God rather than on human strength. In the Greek Septuagint version of the bible, and in its Latin translation in the Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 117 in a slightly different numbering system.

Theme and Structure

This psalm is centered on God, in a movement that expresses gratitude, admiration, joy and praise. In the translation of King James, we read of the Lord in every verse. Its benefits are magnified, the narrator testifies that he benefits from it and exhorts to enter into the same attitude of praise.

The Psalm is one of the so-called Egyptian Hallel.

Verse 5

I called on the Lord in distress;

The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.[1]

Verse 14

The Lord is my strength and song,

And He has become my salvation.[2]

These words are parallelled in the Song of Moses ({{bibleverse|Exodus|15:2|KJV}}) and are used by the prophet Isaiah in {{bibleverse|Isaiah|12:2|KJV}}.[3]

Verse 22

The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone.[4]

Verse 23

This was the Lord’s doing;

It is marvelous in our eyes.[5]

  • Verses 22-23 are quoted in {{bibleverse||Matthew|21:42|NKJV}}, Jesus said to them (the chief priests and the elders of the people), "Have you never read in the Scriptures: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?" Opposition and difficulties are seen in this Psalm but in the midst of it God will display His salvation. This verse is also referred to in {{bibleverse||Mark|12:10|KJV}}, {{bibleverse||Luke|20:17|KJV}}, {{bibleverse||Acts|4:11|KJV}}, and {{bibleverse|1|Peter|2:4,7|NKJV}}.[12]

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"[13][14]

Catholic Church

This psalm was chosen by St Benedict towards 530, as the third psalm during the solemn office of the Sunday laudes (Rule of Saint Benedict, chapter XI10).[15]

Psalm 118 (117) is now read in the liturgy of the Hours every Sunday of the first and third weeks, at the office of Sext.[16]

Anglicanism

An extract from verse 23 is inscribed on several English coins, with the text of the Vulgate: a Domino factum est istud hoc est mirabile in oculis nostris. Upon her accession to the throne, Elizabeth I of England is said to have pronounced this same verse, also in Latin, as quoted in the New Testament: A Domino factum est illud et est mirabile in oculis nostris.[17]

Verses 8 and 9 are notable as the centre verses of the Protestant Bible (e.g. King James Bible).{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
