< Psalms 118 >
1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness.
Give praise to Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.
In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.
6 Jehovah [is] for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.
The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.
7 Jehovah [is] for me among my helpers, And I — I look on those hating me.
The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.
8 Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,
It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.
9 Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.
It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.
10 All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
11 They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
12 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.
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 sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath 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 to me for salvation.
The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.
15 A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing 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 is doing 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 do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,
I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.
18 Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.
The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.
19 Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them — I thank Jah.
Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.
20 This [is] the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.
This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.
21 I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.
I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.
22 A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.
The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.
23 From Jehovah hath this been, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,
This is the Lord’s doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.
24 This [is] the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.
This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.
25 I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.
O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.
26 Blessed [is] he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from 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 God [is] Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto 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 My God Thou [art], and I confess Thee, My God, I 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 to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness!
O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
