Notes

Psalms 118:26

The one who comes in the name of the Lord brings the Lord’s complete victory (see Psalm 118:10–12).
When Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem, the crowds shouted blessings. They used phrases from this verse (Matthew 21:9; Mark 11:9; Luke 19:38; John 12:13).
Jesus quoted this passage as he wept over Jerusalem (Matthew 23:39; Luke 13:35).

Psalms 118:25–29

The psalmist ends with prayer and thanksgiving, anticipating an even greater revelation of God’s victory and rescue.

Psalms 118:1–29

The psalmist joyfully thanks the Lord for his goodness and urges others to trust in his loving devotion (Psalm 118:1–4, 29). This poem is the last of the Egyptian Hallel (Psalms 113–118).

Psalms 113:1–118:29

These psalms are called the Egyptian Hallel. Hallel means “praise.” Jewish people use these psalms during Passover, which began when God brought Israel out of Egypt in the exodus. The people recite Psalms 113–114 before the Passover meal, and Psalms 115–118 are recited afterward.
