Confitemini. Dom. Ps.118.N.

David rejected of Saul and of the people, at the time appointed obtained the kingdom, for the which he biddeth all them that fear the Lord to be thankful, under whose person Christ is lively set forth, who should be of  his people rejected.

Sing this as the 84 Psalm.

The first part (Ps 118) The second part (Ps 118) The third part (Ps 118)
O give ye thanks unto the Lord,
for gracious is he:
Because his mercy doth endure
forever towards thee.
 
2 Let Israel confess and say,
his mercy ‘dures for aye,
 
3 Now let the house of Aaron say:
his mercy ‘dures for aye.
 
4 Let all that fear the Lord our God
even now confess and say:
The mercy of the Lord our God,
endureth still for aye.
 
5 In trouble and in heaviness
unto the Lord I cried:
Which lovingly heard me at large,
my suite was not denied.
 
6 The Lord himself is on my side:
I will not stand in doubt,
Nor fear what man can do to me,
when God stands me about.
 
7 The Lord doth take my part with them
that help to succor me:
Therefore I shall see my desire,
upon mine enemy.
 
8 Better it is to trust in God,
then in man’s mortal seed:
Or to put confidence in Kings,
or princes in our need.
 
9 All nations have enclosed me,
and ‘compassed me round.
 
10 But in the name of God shall I
mine enemies confound.
 
11 They kept me in on every side,
they kept me in I say:
But through the Lord’s most mighty name
I shall work their decay.
 
12 They came about me all like Bees,
but yet in the Lord’s name
I quenched the thorns that were on fire
and will destroy the same.
13 Thou hast with force thrust sore at me
that I indeed might fall:
But through the Lord I found such help
that they were vanquished all.
 
14 The Lord is my defense and strength,
my joy, my mirth, and song:
He is become for me indeed
a Savior most strong.
 
15 The right hand of the Lord our God
doth bring to pass great things:
He causeth voice of joy and health
in righteous men’s dwellings.
 
16 The right hand of the Lord doth bring
most mighty things to pass:
His hand hath the preeminence,
his force is as it was.
 
17 I will not die, but ever live
to utter and declare
The Lord his might and wondrous power
his works, and what they are.
 
18 The Lord himself hath chastened,
and hath corrected me:
But hath not given me over yet
to death, as ye may see.
 
19 Set open unto me the gates
of truth and righteousness:
that I may enter into them,
The Lord’s praise to confess.
 
20 This is the gate even of the Lord,
which shall not so be shut,
But good and righteous men alway
shall enter into it.
21 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord,
because thou hast heard me:
And art become most lovingly
a Savior unto me.
 
22 The stone which ere this time among
the builders was refused:
Is now become the cornerstone,
and chiefly to be used.
 
23 This was the mighty work of God,
this was the Lord own fact:
And it is marvelous to behold
with eyes that noble act.
 
24 This is the joyful day indeed,
which God himself hath wrought:
Let us be glad and joy therein,
in heart, in mind, and thought,
 
25 Now help us Lord and prosper us,
we wish with one accord:
 
26 Blessed be he that come to us,
in the name of the Lord.
 
27 God is the Lord that showeth us light
bind ye therefore with cord
Your sacrifice to the Altar,
and give thanks to the Lord.
 
28 Thou art my God, I will confess,
and render thanks to thee:
Thou art my God, and I will praise
thy mercy towards me.
 
29 O give ye thanks unto the Lord,
for gracious is he:
Because his mercy doth endure
forever towards me.
