The Lord God Himself

Psalm 118 consists of 29 verses,
verses 1-17 are given below:

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy 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. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.-Psalm 118:1-17***The first mention of "Israel" in the King James Version of the Holy Bible occurs at Genesis 32:28. The divinely inspired Scriptures in the Book of Genesis reveal that fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Jacob received his birth name due to the incident that occurred when he and Esau were being born. Decades thereafter, Jacob was in a divine wrestling encounter. After a brief exchange of words, Jacob's name was changed to Israel, which means "may God prevail/God is upright/a prince of God/he who strives with God." In Genesis 35:10, the Lord God spoke to Jacob and acknowledged Jacob's new name. The first mention of "Aaron" occurs at Exodus 4:14, when the Lord God was speaking to Aaron's younger brother Moses about the Israelites, and the Egyptians, and the Promised Land, and Pharaoh, and Moses' worriment, and Aaron. The meaning of the name Aaron is usually accepted to mean the exalted one, or light, or mountain, or hill. However, a precise definition is not known. Aaron and Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God sent them to speak to the Israelite elders and Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, when Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights, the Lord God told Moses that only Aaron and Aaron's sons and the sons born to their descendants could serve the Lord God as priests. The other men in the tribe of Levi were to assist the priests. Over 1,400 years after Moses anointed Aaron and Aaron's sons and Aaron began serving as the high priest, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. In the Holy Bible, in the Epistle to the Hebrews, Jesus is revealed to be a great high priest.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Psalm 118, Hosea 12:1-14, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, Hebrews
