Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 118
1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:
because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear the Lord say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 I called upon the Lord in distress:
the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me:
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about:
but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 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.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall:
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song,
and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous:
the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted:
the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord hath chastened me sore:
but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20 this gate of the Lord,
into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me,
and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord:
O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light:
bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee:
thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29 O give thanks unto the Lord;
for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.

(Z)You are my God, I will exalt You.
29 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Acción de gracias por la salvación recibida de Jehová
118 Alabad a Jehová, porque él es bueno;
Porque para siempre es su misericordia.(A)
2 Diga ahora Israel,
Que para siempre es su misericordia.
3 Diga ahora la casa de Aarón,
Que para siempre es su misericordia.
4 Digan ahora los que temen a Jehová,
Que para siempre es su misericordia.
5 Desde la angustia invoqué a JAH,
Y me respondió JAH, poniéndome en lugar espacioso.
6 Jehová está conmigo; no temeré
Lo que me pueda hacer el hombre.(B)
7 Jehová está conmigo entre los que me ayudan;
Por tanto, yo veré mi deseo en los que me aborrecen.
8 Mejor es confiar en Jehová
Que confiar en el hombre.
9 Mejor es confiar en Jehová
Que confiar en príncipes.
10 Todas las naciones me rodearon;
Mas en el nombre de Jehová yo las destruiré.
11 Me rodearon y me asediaron;
Mas en el nombre de Jehová yo las destruiré.
12 Me rodearon como abejas; se enardecieron como fuego de espinos;
Mas en el nombre de Jehová yo las destruiré.
13 Me empujaste con violencia para que cayese,
Pero me ayudó Jehová.
14 Mi fortaleza y mi cántico es JAH,
Y él me ha sido por salvación.(C)
15 Voz de júbilo y de salvación hay en las tiendas de los justos;
La diestra de Jehová hace proezas.
16 La diestra de Jehová es sublime;
La diestra de Jehová hace valentías.
17 No moriré, sino que viviré,
Y contaré las obras de JAH.
18 Me castigó gravemente JAH,
Mas no me entregó a la muerte.
19 Abridme las puertas de la justicia;
Entraré por ellas, alabaré a JAH.
20 Esta es puerta de Jehová;
Por ella entrarán los justos.
21 Te alabaré porque me has oído,
Y me fuiste por salvación.
22 La piedra que desecharon los edificadores
Ha venido a ser cabeza del ángulo.(D)
23 De parte de Jehová es esto,
Y es cosa maravillosa a nuestros ojos.(E)
24 Este es el día que hizo Jehová;
Nos gozaremos y alegraremos en él.
25 Oh Jehová, sálvanos(F) ahora, te ruego;
Te ruego, oh Jehová, que nos hagas prosperar ahora.
26 Bendito el que viene en el nombre de Jehová;(G)
Desde la casa de Jehová os bendecimos.
27 Jehová es Dios, y nos ha dado luz;
Atad víctimas con cuerdas a los cuernos del altar.
28 Mi Dios eres tú, y te alabaré;
Dios mío, te exaltaré.
29 Alabad a Jehová, porque él es bueno;
Porque para siempre es su misericordia.
