Psalms 118:1-29

118:1-3 | God withholds eternal death as punishment for sin, replacing it with His kindness, love, and compassion. This psalm was used as an antiphonal reading in corporate worship, with His mercy endures forever being used as the refrain.

118:14 | This verse is an exact quote from the victory song at the Red Sea (Ex. 15:2) and is repeated in Isaiah 12:2. The Exodus events were an object lesson in God’s redemptive character and His desire to deliver His people from trouble.
