Psalms 118
1 Oh give thanks to Yahweh; for he is good; For his loving-kindness [endures] forever.2 Let Israel now say, That his loving-kindness [endures] forever.3 Let the house of Aaron now say, That his loving-kindness [endures] forever.4 Let them now that fear Yahweh say, That his loving-kindness [endures] forever.5 Out of my distress I called on Yah: Yah answered me [and set me] in a large place.6 Yahweh is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do to me?7 Yahweh is on my side among those that help me: Therefore I shall see [my desire] on those that hate me.8 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh Than to put confidence in man.9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh Than to put confidence in princes.10 All nations compassed me about: In the name of Yahweh I will cut them off.11 They compassed me about; yes, they compassed me about: In the name of Yahweh I will cut them off.12 They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Yahweh I will cut them off.13 You thrusted intensely at me that I might fall; But Yahweh helped me.14 Yah is my strength and song; And he has become my salvation.15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted: The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Yah.18 Yah has chastened me intensely; But he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks to Yah.20 This is the gate of Yahweh; The righteous shall enter into it.21 I will give thanks to you; for you have answered me, And have become my salvation.22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the head of the corner.23 This is Yahweh's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.24 This is the day which Yahweh has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.25 Save now, we urge you, O Yahweh: O Yahweh, we urge you, send now prosperity.26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of Yahweh: We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.27 Yahweh is God, and he has given us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you: You are my God, I will exalt you.29 Oh give thanks to Yahweh; for he is good; For his loving-kindness [endures] forever.
