Psalms 118

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

Thank God, for He is kind and has endless love.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let Israel now say, God's endless kindness lasts forever.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let Aaron's family now say, that his kindness lasts forever.

Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Those who respect God should now say that His kindness lasts forever.

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.

I cried to God when I was in trouble: God heard my prayer and saved me, giving me a big space to live in.

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

God is with me; I have no fear; what can people do to me?

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

God supports those who help me, so I will see my wishes fulfilled for those who dislike me.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Trusting in the LORD is better than relying on people.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

Trusting in the LORD is better than depending on important people.

All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

All countries surrounded me: but using the LORD's name, I will eliminate them.

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

They surrounded me completely, but in the Lord's name, I will defeat them.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

They surrounded me like bees, but they'll be extinguished like fire from thorns. I'll destroy them in the name of the Lord.

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

You severely attacked me to make me fail, but the Lord supported me.

The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

The LORD is my power and joy, and now my rescue.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

The joyful, saving voice is in the homes of good people: God's strong right hand does great things.

The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

The Lord's strong hand is praised: the Lord's strong hand acts bravely.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

I won't die, but live on, and tell others about what God has done.

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

The Lord has punished me severely, but He hasn't caused my death.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

Let me enter the doors of goodness; I'll walk through them and celebrate God's greatness.

This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

This is the Lord's door that good people can go through.

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

I will thank you because you listened to me and saved me.

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

The stone that the builders didn't want is now the main stone at the corner.

This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

This is God's work, and it amazes us greatly.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Today is the day that the Lord has created, so let's be happy and celebrate in it.

Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

Please save us now, Lord: Lord, please grant us prosperity soon.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

Praised is the one who comes in the name of God; we have blessed you from the holy place.

God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

God is our guiding light; tie the offering securely to the altar's horns.

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

You are my God, and I will thank you: you are my God, I will honor you.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Thank God, because he's kind and his love lasts forever.
