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