Psalm 118:1–14

¹Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

²Let Israel now say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

³Let the house of Aaron now say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

⁴Let them now that fear Jehovah say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

⁵Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah:

Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.

⁶Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:

What can man do unto me?

⁷Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:

Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

⁸It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

Than to put confidence in man.

⁹It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

Than to put confidence in princes.

¹⁰All nations compassed me about:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

¹¹They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

¹²They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

¹³Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;

But Jehovah helped me.

¹⁴Jehovah is my strength and song;

And he is become my salvation.
