Psalms 118

1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever.

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

2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.

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

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

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

4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.

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

5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place.

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

6 The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

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

7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

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

8 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

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

9 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

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

10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

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

11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

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

12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

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

13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

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

14 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

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

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

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

I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,

18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, [and] I will praise the LORD:

Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them — I thank Jah.

20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

This [is] the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.

21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.

22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.

A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.

23 This is the LORD’s doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes.

From Jehovah hath this been, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,

24 This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

This [is] the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.

26 Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

Blessed [is] he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah,

27 God [is] the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar.

God [is] Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.

28 Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art] my God, I will exalt thee.

My God Thou [art], and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.

29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness!
