Psalm 118
Young's Literal Translation
Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is Good

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.

6Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

7Jehovah 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!
