Psalms 118

1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

2Let Israel now say,

3Let the house of Aaron now say,

4Let them now that fear Jehovah say,

5Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah:

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

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

8It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

9It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

10All nations compassed me about:

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

12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:

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

14Jehovah is my strength and song;

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

16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:

17I shall not die, but live,

18Jehovah hath chastened me sore;

19Open to me the gates of righteousness:

20This is the gate of Jehovah;

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

22The stone which the builders rejected

23This is Jehovah’s doing;

24This is the day which Jehovah hath made;

25Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:

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

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

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

29Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
