Psalms 118

1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

I pray you! let Israel, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

I pray you! let the house of Aaron, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

4 Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

I pray you! let them who revere Yahweh, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

5 I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

Out of a strait, called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.

6 The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

Yahweh, is on my side, I will not fear, What can man, do unto me?

7 The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.

Yahweh, is on my side, with them who help me, I, therefore shall gaze upon them who hate me.

8 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.

It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man:

9 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.

It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in nobles.

10 All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

All nations, have compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;

11 They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

They have compassed me about—yea compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;

12 They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

They have compassed me about like wax bees, they have blazed up like the fire of thorns, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised.

13 I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

Thou didst, thrust sore, at me that I might fall, But, Yahweh, hath helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by salvation.

15 The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.

The voice of shouting and salvation, is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Yahweh, is doing valiantly:

16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.

The right hand of Yahweh, is exalted, The right hand of Yahweh, is doing valiantly.

17 Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.

I shall not die, but live, That I may recount the doings of Yah.

18 The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.

Yah, chastened me sore, But, unto death, did not deliver me.

19 Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.

Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will enter therein, I will give thanks unto Yah.

20 This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.

This, is the gate for Yahweh, Such as are righteous, shall enter therein.

21 I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.

I will thank thee, because thou hast answered me, And hast become mine, by salvation.

22 The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.

A stone the builders refused, hath become the head of the corner:

23 This is the Lord's doing; it is a wonder in our eyes.

From Yahweh, hath this come to pass, The same, is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.

This is the day, which Yahweh hath made, We will exult, and be glad therein.

25 Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.

Ah now, Yahweh, do save, we beseech thee, Ah now, Yahweh, do send success, we beseech thee!

26 A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.

Blessed be he that entereth, In the Name of Yahweh, we have blessed you, out of the house of Yahweh.

27 The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.

Yahweh is GOD, and hath shed on us light, —Bind ye the festal sacrifice with cords, Up to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will give you praise; my God, and I will give honour to your name.

My GOD, thou art, and I will thank thee, —My Elohim, I will exalt thee.

29 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
