Psalm 118:1–14

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.
