Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Let Israel now say,
That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say,
That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Let them now that fear Jehovah say,
That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Out of my distress I called upon {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah:
{Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.
Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:
What can man do unto me?
Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:
Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in princes.
All nations compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;
But Jehovah helped me.
{Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah is my strength and song;
And he is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:
The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:
The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah.
{Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah hath chastened me sore;
But he hath not given me over unto death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah.
This is the gate of Jehovah;
The righteous shall enter into it.
I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me,
And art become my salvation.
The stone which the builders rejected
Is become the head of the corner.
This is {Hebrew: from Jehovah.}Jehovah's doing;
It is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day which Jehovah hath made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:
O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
Blessed be he that {Or, entereth}cometh in the name of Jehovah:
We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light:
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee:
Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Querverweise zu Psalm 118,7 Ps 118,7
Behold, God is my helper:The Lord is {Or, with}of them that uphold my soul.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble;And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace {Or, so that none came nigh me}from the battle that was against me;For they were many that strove with me.
My God with his lovingkindness will meet me:God will let me see my desire upon {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies.
Then the Spirit {Hebrew: clothed.}came upon Amasai, who was chief of the {Another reading is, captains.}thirty, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Mine eye also hath seen my desire on {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies,Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.
