1 G ive ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age His kindness.

2 I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age His kindness.

3 I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age His kindness.

4 I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age His kindness.

5 F rom the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.

6 J ehovah for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

7 J ehovah for me among my helpers, And I -- I look on those hating me.

8 B etter to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

9 B etter to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.

10 A ll nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

11 T hey have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

12 T hey compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

13 T hou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

14 M y strength and song Jah, And He is to me for salvation.

15 A voice of singing and salvation, in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

16 T he right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

17 I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,

18 J ah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.

19 O pen ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them -- I thank Jah.

20 T his the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.

21 I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.

22 A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.

23 F rom Jehovah hath this been, It wonderful in our eyes,

24 T his the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

25 I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.

26 B lessed he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah,

27 G od Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.

28 M y God Thou, and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.

29 G ive ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, His kindness!
