Psalms 118
1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness.
'O give thanks unto the 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.
So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,
3 I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
4 I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.

The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
7 Jehovah [is] for me among my helpers, And I — I look on those hating me.
The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.
8 Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
9 Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
10 All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

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

Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.
14 My strength and song [is] Jah, And He is to me for salvation.
The LORD is my strength and song; 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.

17 I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.

19 Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them — I thank Jah.
Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.
20 This [is] the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.
This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.
21 I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.
I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22 A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.
The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
23 From Jehovah hath this been, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,
This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous 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; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.
We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!
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 of the LORD; we bless 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 hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 My God Thou [art], and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.
Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.
29 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness!
O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
