Ps 118
NIVSB=CSSB until "... Last Supper (see Mt 26:30)." but goes on with "Following a liturgical call to praise (vv. 1–4), the king offers a song of thanksgiving for deliverance and victory in battle (vv. 5–21). A three-verse stanza (vv. 5-7) summarizing the main theme is followed by two seven-verse composite stanzas (vv. 8-14, 15-21) of elaboration, each closing with the refrain: 'has/have become my salvation.' In vv. 22–27 the people rejoice over what the Lord has done. Thereafter, the king speaks his final word of praise (v. 28), and a liturgical conclusion (v. 29) repeats the opening call to praise, thus framing the whole. In the two seven-verse stanzas (vv. 8-14, 15-21) the divine name Yahweh (or its shortened foorm, Yah) occurs seven times. In the six-verse stanza (vv. 22-27) it occurs seven times, and in the remaining verses (1-7, 28-29) it occurs seven times."

    Most possibly the CSSB editors only added "It was Luther's favorite psalm, especially because of v. 17." and the other changes are NIVSB updates from the version used by CSSB.
