Psalm 118:1–14

¹Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness.

²I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age is His kindness.

³I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age is His kindness.

⁴I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age is His kindness.

⁵From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.

⁶Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

⁷Jehovah is for me among my helpers, And I—I look on those hating me.

⁸Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

⁹Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.

¹⁰All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹¹They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹²They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹³Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

¹⁴My strength and song is Jah, And He is to me for salvation.
