“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. O what a foretaste of glory divine. Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his Spirit, washed in his blood”

PSALM 118: 14-26

The LORD is my strength (defense) and my song; he has become my salvation.

 Shouts of joy and victory    resound in the tents of the righteous:“The LORD’s right hand has done mighty things!    The LORD’s right hand is lifted high; the LORD’s right hand has done mighty things!”

 I will not die but live,    and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

PSALM 118: 14-26The LORD has chastened me severely,

    but he has not given me over to deathOpen for me the gates of the righteous;

    I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.This is the gate of the LORD    through which the righteous may enter. I will give you thanks, for you answered me;    you have become my salvation. The stone the builders rejected    has become the cornerstone;(capstone)

PSALM 118: 14-26

23 the LORD has done this,    and it is marvelous in our eyes. The LORD has done it this very day;    let us rejoice today and be glad in it.

O  LORD, save us!    O LORD, grant us success!

 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.
