Psalm 118
[118:1] Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. [118:2] Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever. [118:3] Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever. [118:4] Now let those who fear Yahweh say that his loving kindness endures forever. [118:5] Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom. [118:6] Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? [118:7] Yahweh is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me. [118:8] It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man. [118:9] It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes. [118:10] All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of Yahweh, I cut them off. [118:11] They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I indeed cut them off. [118:12] They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of Yahweh I cut them off. [118:13] You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but Yahweh helped me. [118:14] Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. [118:15] The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly. [118:16] The right hand of Yahweh is exalted! The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!" [118:17] I will not die, but live, and declare Yah's works. [118:18] Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death. [118:19] Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah. [118:20] This is the gate of Yahweh; the righteous will enter into it. [118:21] I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation. [118:22] The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. [118:23] This is Yahweh's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. [118:24] This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! [118:25] Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh! Yahweh, we beg you, send prosperity now. [118:26] Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh. [118:27] Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. [118:28] You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you. [118:29] Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
