Psalm 118:1-29 ASV

[1] Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever. [2] Let Israel now say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever. [3] Let the house of Aaron now say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever. [4] Let them now that fear Jehovah say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever. [5] Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place. [6] Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me? [7] Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. [8] It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man. [9] It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes. [10] All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. [11] They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. [12] They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. [13] Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But Jehovah helped me. [14] Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. [15] The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. [16] The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. [17] I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah. [18] Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death. [19] Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah. [20] This is the gate of Jehovah; The righteous shall enter into it. [21] I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation. [22] The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner. [23] This is Jehovah's doing; It is marvellous in our eyes. [24] This is the day which Jehovah hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. [25] Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah: O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. [26] Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah: We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah. [27] Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. [28] Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee. [29] Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
