1Preist den HERRN, denn er ist gut, denn seine Gnade ⟨währt⟩ ewig!2Es sage Israel[1]: Ja, seine Gnade ⟨währt⟩ ewig!3Es sage das Haus Aaron: Ja, seine Gnade ⟨währt⟩ ewig!4Es sagen, die den HERRN fürchten: Ja, seine Gnade ⟨währt⟩ ewig! (Ps 100,5; Ps 115,9; Ps 118,29)5Aus der Bedrängnis rief ich zu Jah. Jah antwortete mir in der Weite[2]. (Ps 18,20)6Der HERR ist für mich, ich werde mich nicht fürchten. Was könnte ein Mensch mir tun? (Ps 56,5; Ps 56,10; Ps 94,16; Ps 112,8; Jes 51,12; Hebr 13,6)7Der HERR ist für mich unter denen, die mir helfen. Ich werde herabsehen auf meine Hasser. (Ps 54,6; Ps 59,11)8Es ist besser, sich bei dem HERRN zu bergen, als sich auf Menschen zu verlassen. (Jer 17,5)9Es ist besser, sich bei dem HERRN zu bergen, als sich auf Edle zu verlassen. (Ps 146,3)10Alle Nationen hatten mich umringt. Im Namen des HERRN – ja, ich wehrte sie ab. (Ps 18,41; Ps 88,18)11Sie hatten mich umringt, ja, mich eingeschlossen. Im Namen des HERRN – ja, ich wehrte sie ab. (Ps 18,41; Ps 88,18)12Sie hatten mich umringt wie Bienen. Sie sind erloschen wie Dornenfeuer. Im Namen des HERRN – ja, ich wehrte sie ab. (5Mo 1,44; Jes 33,12)13Hart hat man[3] mich gestoßen, um mich zu Fall zu bringen. Aber der HERR hat mir geholfen. (Ps 129,2)14Meine Stärke und mein Gesang ist Jah. Er ist mir zur Rettung geworden. (2Mo 15,2; Jes 12,2)15Klang von Jubel und Rettung ist in den Zelten der Gerechten. Die Rechte des HERRN tut Gewaltiges. (2Mo 15,6; Ps 5,12; Ps 111,2)16Die Rechte des HERRN ist erhoben, die Rechte des HERRN tut Gewaltiges.17Ich werde nicht sterben, sondern leben und die Taten Jahs erzählen. (Jer 51,10; Hab 1,12)18Hart hat mich Jah gezüchtigt, aber dem Tod hat er mich nicht übergeben. (Hi 5,17; 2Kor 6,9)19Öffnet mir die Tore der Gerechtigkeit! Ich will durch sie eingehen, Jah will ich preisen. (Ps 68,5; Jes 26,2)20Dies ist das Tor des HERRN. Gerechte ziehen hier ein.21Ich will dich preisen, denn du hast mich erhört und bist mir zur Rettung geworden. (2Mo 15,2; Jes 12,2)22Der Stein, den die Bauleute verworfen haben, ist zum Eckstein geworden. (Jes 28,16; Lk 20,17; Apg 4,11; 1Petr 2,7)23Vom HERRN ist dies geschehen, es ist ein Wunder vor unseren Augen. (Jes 28,29; Mt 21,42; Mk 12,10)24Dies ist der Tag, den der HERR gemacht hat! Seien wir fröhlich und freuen wir uns in ihm! (Offb 19,7)25Ach, HERR, rette doch! Ach, HERR, gib doch Gelingen!26Gesegnet sei, der kommt im Namen des HERRN. Vom Haus des HERRN aus haben wir euch gesegnet. (Mt 21,9; Mt 23,39; Mk 11,9; Lk 13,35; Joh 12,13)27Der HERR ist Gott. Er hat uns Licht gegeben.

von Biblica1Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.2Let the people of Israel say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’3Let the priests of Aaron say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’4Let those who have respect for the LORD say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’5When I was in great trouble, I cried out to the LORD. He answered me and set me free from my trouble.6The LORD is with me. I will not be afraid. What can mere human beings do to me?7The LORD is with me. He helps me. I win the battle over my enemies.8It is better to go to the LORD for safety than to trust in mere human beings.9It is better to go to the LORD for safety than to trust in human leaders.10The nations were all around me. But by the LORD’s power I destroyed them.11They were around me on every side. But by the LORD’s power I destroyed them.12They attacked me like swarms of bees. But they were burned up as quickly as thorns in a fire. By the LORD’s power I destroyed them.13I was pushed back and about to be killed. But the LORD helped me.14The LORD gives me strength and makes me secure. He has saved me.15Shouts of joy ring out in the tents of godly people. They praise him for his help in battle. They shout, ‘The LORD’s powerful right hand has done mighty things!16The LORD’s powerful right hand has won the battle! The LORD’s powerful right hand has done mighty things!’17I will not die but live. I will talk about what the LORD has done.18The LORD has really punished me. But he didn’t let me die.19Open for me the gates where the godly can go in. I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.20This is the gate of the LORD. Only those who do what is right can go through it.21LORD, I will give thanks to you, because you answered me. You have saved me.22The stone the builders didn’t accept has become the most important stone of all.23The LORD has done it. It is wonderful in our eyes.24The LORD has done it on this day. Let us be joyful today and be glad.25LORD, save us. LORD, give us success.26Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD. From the temple of the LORD we bless you.27The LORD is God. He has been good to us. Take branches in your hands. Join in the march on the day of the feast. March up to the corners of the altar.28You are my God, and I will praise you. You are my God, and I will honour you.29Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.
Psalm 118
King James Version
1O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.2Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.3Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.4Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.5I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.6The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?7The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.9It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.10All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.14The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.16The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.18The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:20This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.22The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.23This is the LORD' doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.24This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.25Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.27God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.28Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.29O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
