Notes

Psalms 118:24

This is the day that the LORD has made: The Lord's victory has begun, but it will be completed on another day (Psalm 118:25).

Psalms 118:22–24

The psalmist sees his own salvation as the beginning of a new day in which the Lord will do great things.

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.
