Psalms 118:5-18

5Out of my distress I calledH7121 upon Jehovah:Jehovah answeredH6030 me and set me in a large placeH4800.6Jehovah is on my side; I will not fearH3372:What can manH120 do unto me?7Jehovah is on my side among them that helpH5826 me:Therefore shall I seeH7200my desireupon them that hateH8130 me.8It is betterH2896 to takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Jehovah Than to put confidence in manH120.9It is betterH2896 to takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes.10All nationsH1471 compassed me about:In the nameH8034 of Jehovah I will cut them off.11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:In the nameH8034 of Jehovah I will cut them off.12They compassed me about like beesH1682; they are quenched as the fireH784 of thornsH6975:In the nameH8034 of Jehovah I will cut them off.13Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fallH5307;But Jehovah helpedH5826 me.14Jehovah isH1961 my strengthH5797 and song;And he isH1961 becomeH1961 my salvationH3444.15The voiceH6963 of rejoicing and salvationH3444 is in the tentsH168 of the righteousH6662:The rightH3225 handH3225 of Jehovah doeth valiantly.16The rightH3225 handH3225 of Jehovah is exalted:The rightH3225 handH3225 of Jehovah doeth valiantly.17I shall not dieH4191, but liveH2421,And declare the worksH4639 of Jehovah.18Jehovah hath chastened me sore;But he hath not givenH5414 me over unto deathH4194.
