Psalm 118, is a psalm of declarative praise, is the last of the group of psalms called the passover psalms or Hallel psalms, after the Hebrew word for praise, hallel. Hallelujah comes from this word. Theses songs were probably sung by the Savior on the night before His death.

Today's Hymn: "The Old Rugged Cross"
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, to bear it to dark Calvary
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful we are that we a such a loving Heavenly Father whose mercies endures forever. May we as believers always remember and proclaim that with God on our side what can man or the world every do to me. May our ultimate trust be placed only in You Lord for our deliverance and strength comes from You.
Amen
