¹ Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good,
for his grace continues forever.
² Now let Isra'el say,
"His grace continues forever."
³ Now let the house of Aharon say,
"His grace continues forever."
⁴ Now let those who fear Adonai say,
"His grace continues forever."

⁵ From my being hemmed in I called on Yah;
he answered and gave me more room.
⁶ With Adonai on my side, I fear nothing —
what can human beings do to me?
⁷ With Adonai on my side as my help,
I will look with triumph at those who hate me.

⁸ It is better to take refuge in Adonai
than to trust in human beings;
⁹ better to take refuge in Adonai
than to put one's trust in princes.

¹⁰ The nations all surrounded me;
in the name of Adonai I cut them down.
¹¹ They surrounded me on every side
in the name of Adonai I cut them down.
¹² They surrounded me like bees
but were extinguished [as quickly] as a fire in thorns;
in the name of Adonai I cut them down.

¹³ You pushed me hard to make me fall,
but Adonai helped me.
¹⁴ Yah is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.

¹⁵ The sound of rejoicing and victory
is heard in the tents of the righteous:
"Adonai's right hand struck powerfully!
¹⁶ Adonai's right hand is raised in triumph!
Adonai's right hand struck powerfully!"

¹⁷ I will not die; no, I will live
and proclaim the great deeds of Yah!
¹⁸ Yah disciplined me severely,
but did not hand me over to death.

¹⁹ Open the gates of righteousness for me;
I will enter them and thank Yah.
²⁰ This is the gate of Adonai;
the righteous can enter it.
²¹ I am thanking you because you answered me;
you became my salvation.

²² The very rock that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone!
²³ This has come from Adonai,
and in our eyes it is amazing.
²⁴ This is the day Adonai has made,
a day for us to rejoice and be glad.

²⁵ Please, Adonai! Save us!
Please, Adonai! Rescue us!
²⁶ Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai.
We bless you from the house of Adonai.

²⁷ Adonai is God, and he gives us light.
Join in the pilgrim festival with branches
all the way to the horns of the altar.

²⁸ You are my God, and I thank you.
You are my God; I exalt you.
²⁹ Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good,
for his grace continues forever.
