Psalm 118

Psalm 118

¹Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. ²Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever. ³Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever. ⁴Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever. ⁵I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me and set me in a large place. ⁶Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me? ⁷Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see my desire upon them that hate me. ⁸It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man; ⁹It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles. ¹⁰All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. ¹¹They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. ¹²They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. ¹³Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me. ¹⁴My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation. ¹⁵The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly; ¹⁶The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. ¹⁷I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah. ¹⁸Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise. ²⁰This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein. ²¹I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. ²²The stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner: ²³This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes. ²⁴This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. ²⁵Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity! ²⁶Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah. ²⁷Jehovah is •God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, —up to the horns of the altar. ²⁸Thou art my •God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee. ²⁹Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
