Psalm 118

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.
22 # Cited Matt. 21:42; Mark 12:10, 11; Luke 20:17; [Isa. 28:16]; Acts 4:11; Eph. 2:20; 1 Pet. 2:4-7 The stone that the builders rejected
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!
26 #
Matt. 21:9; 23:39; Mark 11:9; Luke 13:35; 19:38 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We #Ps. 129:8bless you from the house of the Lord.
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!

Psalms 118
118
1Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness.
2I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
3I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
4I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
5From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.
6 Jehovah [is] for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.
7 Jehovah [is] for me among my helpers, And I — I look on those hating me.
8Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,
9Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.
10All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
11They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
12They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
13Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.
14My strength and song [is] Jah, And He is to me for salvation.
15A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.
16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.
17I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,
18Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.
19Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them — I thank Jah.
20This [is] the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.
21I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.
22A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.
23From Jehovah hath this been, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,
24This [is] the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.
25I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.
26Blessed [is] he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah,
27God [is] Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.
28My God Thou [art], and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.
29Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness!
