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 118,9 Ps 118,9
Put not your trust in princes,Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;In that very day his {Or, purposes}thoughts perish.
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to {Or, flee to the stronghold of Pharaoh}strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:
but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as {Or, a pole}a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to taskwork.
Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
But if thou say unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
When they took hold of thee {Or, by the handle Another reading is, with the hand.}by thy hand, thou didst break, and didst rend all their shoulders; and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to {Or, as some read, shake See Psalm 69:23.}be at a stand.
