Psalm 118 is the 118th psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in the English of the King James Version: "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever." The Book of Psalms is part of the third section of the Hebrew Bible , and a book of the Christian Old Testament .
The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures.

Full Hallel (Hebrew: הלל שלם, romanized: Hallel shalem, lit. 'complete Hallel') consists of all six Psalms of the Hallel, in their entirety.It is a Jewish prayer recited on the first two nights and days of Pesach (only the first night and day in Israel), on Shavuot, all seven days of Sukkot, on Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, and on the eight days of Hanukkah.
The one shout all four Gospels agree on is 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!' (although Luke replaces 'He' with 'the King' [27]), which is a quote from Psalm 118:25,26; Matthew 23:39 and Luke 13:35 also recite this verse. [28]
The midrash contains homilies on the Psalms, and comments on single verses and even on single words. The homilies are as a rule introduced with the formula "as Scripture says". In only a few cases are they introduced as in the other midrashim, with the formula "Rabbi N. N. has begun the discourse", or "Rabbi N. N. explains the Biblical passage".
The text is a paraphrase of Psalm 118 ("O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good"). [1] The psalm, a favourite of the reformer Martin Luther, [1] includes elements of thanks and praise, gates opening (a motif of Advent), hope beyond death, praise of someone coming in God's name (a motif of the Benedictus), and a lasting covenant.
The concept is paraphrased in Psalm 118:8, Psalm 40:3, Psalm 73:28, and Proverbs 29:25. [139] According to Philip Jenkins, a historian of religion, some Bible translations rendered Psalm 56:11 as "In God I trust; I will not fear", [140] which could lead to substitution of the first "I" for "we".
