Psalm 118:1-29

118  Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever. 2  Let Israel now say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever. 3  Let the house of Aaron now say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever. 4  Let them now that fear Jehovah say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever. 5  Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place. 6  Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me? 7  Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8  It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man. 9  It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes. 10  All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. 11  They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. 12  They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. 13  Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But Jehovah helped me. 14  Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. 15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 16  The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 17  I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah. 18  Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death. 19  Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah. 20  This is the gate of Jehovah; The righteous shall enter into it. 21  I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation. 22  The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner. 23  This is Jehovah’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes. 24  This is the day which Jehovah hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25  Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah: O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26  Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah: We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah. 27  Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 28  Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 29  Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
