Psalm 118
Smith's Literal Translation Par ▾ 

The LORD Is on My Side

1Confess ye to Jehovah, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.

2Now shall Israel say that his mercy is forever.

3The house of Aaron shall now say that his mercy is forever.

4They fearing Jehovah shall now say that his mercy is forever.

5Out of distress I called upon Jah: Jah answered me in an enlarging.

6Jehovah for me, I will not fear what man shall do to me.

7Jehovah for me in my help, and I shall look upon those hating me.

8Good to trust in Jehovah rather than to trust in man.

9Good to trust in Jehovah rather than to trust in nobles.

10All nations surrounded me: in the name of Jehovah but I will cut them off.

11They surrounded me; also they surrounded me: in the name of Jehovah but I will cut them of.

12They surrounded me as bees; they were quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of Jehovah for I will destroy them.

13Being thrust, I was thrust down to fall, and Jehovah helped me.

14Jah my strength and music, and he will be to me for salvation.

15A voice of rejoicing and salvation in the tents of the just the right hand of Jehovah did strength.

16The right hand of Jehovah was exalted: the right hand of Jehovah did strength.

17I shall not die, for I shall live and I shall recount the works of Jah.

18Jah correcting, corrected me, and he gave me not to death.

19Open to me, ye gates of justice: I will go into them, I will praise Jah.

20This the gate to Jehovah, the just shall go into it.

21I will praise thee, for thou didst answer me, and thou wilt be to me for salvation.

22The stone the builders refused will be for the head of the corner.

23This was from Jehovah; he was wonderful in our eyes.

24This the day Jehovah made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25Now, O Jehovah, save now: now O Jehovah, give now success.

26Blessed he coming in the name of Jehovah: we blessed you from the house of Jehovah.

27God is Jehovah, and he will shine to us: make ye fast the festival with interweavings, even to the horns of the altar.

28Thou my God, and I will praise thee: my God, I will exalt thee.

29Confess ye to Jehovah, for he is good; for his mercy is forever.
