The Psalms

Psalm 118

 ^118:1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

 For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

 ^118:2Let Israel now say,

 That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

 ^118:3Let the house of Aaron now say,

 That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

 ^118:4Let them now that fear Jehovah say,

 That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

 ^118:5Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah:

 Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.

 ^118:6Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:

 What can man do unto me?

 ^118:7Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:

 Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

 ^118:8It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

 Than to put confidence in man.

 ^118:9It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

 Than to put confidence in princes.

 ^118:10All nations compassed me about:

 In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

 ^118:11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:

 In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

 ^118:12They compassed me about like bees;

 They are quenched as the fire of thorns:

 In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

 ^118:13Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;

 But Jehovah helped me.

 ^118:14Jehovah is my strength and song;

 And he is become my salvation.

 ^118:15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:

 The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

 ^118:16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:

 The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

 ^118:17I shall not die, but live,

 And declare the works of Jehovah.

 ^118:18 Jehovah hath chastened me sore;

 But he hath not given me over unto death.

 ^118:19Open to me the gates of righteousness:

 I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.

 ^118:20This is the gate of Jehovah;

 The righteous shall enter into it.

 ^118:21I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me,

 And art become my salvation.

 ^118:22The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner.

 ^118:23This is Jehovah's doing;

 It is marvellous in our eyes.

 ^118:24This is the day which Jehovah hath made;

 We will rejoice and be glad in it.

 ^118:25Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:

 O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.

 ^118:26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah:

 We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

 ^118:27Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light:

 Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

 ^118:28Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee:

 Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

 ^118:29Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

 For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
