Psalms 118

1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Give praise to Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.

3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

4 Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

5 I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place.

In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.

6 Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.

7 Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.

8 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;

It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.

9 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.

It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.

10 All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

11 They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

12 They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them.

13 Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.

Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.

14 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.

The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.

15 The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;

The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.

16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength.

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.

I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.

18 Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.

The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.

Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.

20 This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.

This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.

21 I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

22 [The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:

The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.

23 This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.

This is the Lord’s doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.

24 This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.

25 Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity!

O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

27 Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, — up to the horns of the altar.

The Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us. Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs, even to the horn of the alter.

28 Thou art my God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee.

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

29 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
