Psalms 118

Psalm 118
1Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
because his mercy endures forever.
2Israel should say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
3The descendants of Aaron should say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
4Those who fear the Lord should say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
5During times of trouble I called on the Lord.
The Lord answered me ⌞and⌟ set me free ⌞from all of them⌟.
6The Lord is on my side.
I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me?
7The Lord is on my side as my helper.
I will see ⌞the defeat of⌟ those who hate me.
8It is better to depend on the Lord
than to trust mortals.
9It is better to depend on the Lord
than to trust influential people.
10All the nations surrounded me,
⌞but armed⌟ with the name of the Lord, I defeated them.
11They surrounded me. Yes, they surrounded me,
⌞but armed⌟ with the name of the Lord, I defeated them.
12They swarmed around me like bees,
but they were extinguished like burning thornbushes.
⌞So armed⌟ with the name of the Lord, I defeated them.
13They pushed hard to make me fall,
but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and my song.
He is my savior.
15The sound of joyful singing and victory is heard
in the tents of righteous people.
The right hand of the Lord displays strength.
16The right hand of the Lord is held high.
The right hand of the Lord displays strength.
17I will not die,
but I will live and tell what the Lord has done.
18The Lord disciplined me severely,
but he did not allow me to be killed.
19Open the gates of righteousness for me.
I will go through them ⌞and⌟ give thanks to the Lord.
20This is the gate of the Lord
through which righteous people will enter.
21I give thanks to you,
because you have answered me.
You are my savior.
22The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
23The Lord is responsible for this,
and it is amazing for us to see.
24This is the day the Lord has made.
Let’s rejoice and be glad today!
25We beg you, O Lord, save us!
We beg you, O Lord, give us success!
26Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless you from the Lord’s house.
27The Lord is God, and he has given us light.
March in a festival procession
with branches to the horns of the altar.
28You are my God, and I give thanks to you.
My God, I honor you highly.
29Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
because his mercy 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!
