1 |
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. --
|
2 |
Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. --
|
3 |
Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. --
|
4 |
Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. --
|
5 |
I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place. --
|
6 |
Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me? --
|
7 |
Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me. --
|
8 |
It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man; --
|
9 |
It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles. --
|
10 |
All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. --
|
11 |
They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. --
|
12 |
They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. --
|
13 |
Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me. --
|
14 |
My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation. --
|
15 |
The voice of triumph 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 Jah. --
|
18 |
Jah 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; Jah will I praise. --
|
20 |
This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein. --
|
21 |
I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. --
|
22 |
[The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner: --
|
23 |
This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes. --
|
24 |
This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. --
|
25 |
Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send 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 łGod, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, -- up to the horns of the altar. --
|
28 |
Thou art my łGod, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee. --
|
29 |
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. --
