PSALM 118
1Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 2Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 3Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 4Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 5I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me and set me in a large place. 6Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me? 7Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see my desire upon them that hate me. 8It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man; 9It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles. 10All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. 11They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. 12They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. 13Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me. 14My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation. 15The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly; 16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah. 18Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise. 20This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein. 21I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. 22The stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner: 23This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes. 24This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity! 26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah. 27Jehovah is ·God#GodHebrew: El and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, — up to the horns of the altar. 28Thou art my ·God#GodHebrew: El and I will give thee thanks; my God#GodHebrew: Elohim I will exalt thee. 29Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
1 # ver. 29; See Ps. 100:5 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 # [Ps. 115:9, 10, 11] Let Israel say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
3 # [See ver. 2 above] Let the house of Aaron say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
4 # [See ver. 2 above] Let those who fear the Lord say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
5 # [Jonah 2:1] Out of my distress I #[Ps. 116:4] called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me #See Ps. 18:19free.
6 #
Ps. 56:9; Cited Heb. 13:6 The Lord is on my side; #See Ps. 23:4; 56:4, 11I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 #
Ps. 54:4 The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall #See Ps. 54:7look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 # [Ps. 40:4; 62:8] It is better to take refuge in the Lord
#
Ps. 146:3
than to trust in man.
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord
# [See ver. 8 above] than to trust in princes.
10 # [Ps. 88:17] All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
11They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 #
Deut. 1:44 They surrounded me like bees;
they went out like #[Ps. 58:9]a fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13I was #[Ps. 140:4]pushed hard,#118:13 Hebrew You (that is, the enemy) pushed me hard so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and my song;
# See Ps. 27:1 he has become my salvation.
15Glad songs of salvation
are in the tents of the righteous:
#
Ex. 15:6; Luke 1:51 “The right hand of the Lord #Ps. 60:12does valiantly,
16the right hand of the Lord exalts,
the right hand of the Lord #[See ver. 15 above]does valiantly!”
17 # [Hab. 1:12] I shall not die, but I shall live,
and #Ps. 73:28; 107:22; [Ps. 6:5]recount the deeds of the Lord.
18The Lord has #[Jer. 30:11; 2 Cor. 6:9]disciplined me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
19 #
Isa. 26:2; [Ps. 24:7, 9] Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
20This is the gate of the Lord;
#
Rev. 21:27; 22:14; [Isa. 35:8] the righteous shall enter through it.
21I thank you that #Ps. 116:1 you have answered me
# [See ver. 14 above] and have become my salvation.

has become the cornerstone.#118:22 Hebrew the head of the corner
23This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save us, we pray, O Lord!
O Lord, we pray, give us success!

27The Lord is God,
and he has made #Ps. 18:28; 97:11; [Esth. 8:16; 1 Pet. 2:9] his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
up to #See Ex. 27:2the horns of the altar!
28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I will #See Ps. 99:5extol you.
29 # ver. 1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
