< Psalms 118 >

1 Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
2 Let now the house of Israel say, that [he is] good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
3 Let now the house of Aaron say, that [he is] good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
יֹאמְרוּ־נָא בֵֽית־אַהֲרֹן כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
4 Let now all that fear the Lord say, that [he is] good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
יֹאמְרוּ־נָא יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
5 I called on the Lord out of affliction: and he listened to me, [so as to bring me] into a wide place.
מִֽן־הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָּהּ עָנָנִי בַמֶּרְחָב יָֽהּ׃
6 The Lord is my helper; and I will not fear what man shall do to me.
יְהֹוָה לִי לֹא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לִי אָדָֽם׃
7 The Lord is my helper; and I shall see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
יְהֹוָה לִי בְּעֹזְרָי וַאֲנִי אֶרְאֶה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃
8 [It is] better to trust in the Lord than to trust in man.
טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהֹוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בָּאָדָֽם׃
9 [It is] better to hope in the Lord, than to hope in princes.
טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהֹוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I repulsed them.
כׇּל־גּוֹיִם סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃
11 They completely compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I repulsed them.
סַבּוּנִי גַם־סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃
12 They compassed me about as bees [do] a honeycomb, and they burst into flame as fire amongst thorns: but in the name of the Lord I repulsed them.
סַבּוּנִי כִדְבוֹרִים דֹּעֲכוּ כְּאֵשׁ קוֹצִים בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃
13 I was thrust, and sorely shaken, that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
דַּחֹה דְחִיתַנִי לִנְפֹּל וַיהֹוָה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃
14 The Lord is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation.
עׇזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַֽיְהִי־לִי לִישׁוּעָֽה׃
15 The voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord has wrought mightily.
קוֹל ׀ רִנָּה וִישׁוּעָה בְּאׇהֳלֵי צַדִּיקִים יְמִין יְהֹוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃
16 The right hand of the Lord has exalted me: the right hand of the Lord has wrought powerfully.
יְמִין יְהֹוָה רוֹמֵמָה יְמִין יְהֹוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃
17 I shall not die, but live, and recount the works of the Lord.
לֹא־אָמוּת כִּֽי־אֶחְיֶה וַאֲסַפֵּר מַעֲשֵׂי יָֽהּ׃
18 The Lord has chastened me sore: but he has not given me up to death.
יַסֹּר יִסְּרַנִּי יָּהּ וְלַמָּוֶת לֹא נְתָנָֽנִי׃
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.
פִּתְחוּ־לִי שַׁעֲרֵי־צֶדֶק אָבֹא־בָם אוֹדֶה יָֽהּ׃
20 This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous shall enter by it.
זֶה־הַשַּׁעַר לַיהֹוָה צַדִּיקִים יָבֹאוּ בֽוֹ׃
21 I will give thanks to you; because you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
אוֹדְךָ כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי וַתְּהִי־לִי לִישׁוּעָֽה׃
22 The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner.
אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃
23 This has been done of the Lord; and it is wonderful in our eyes.
מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה הָיְתָה זֹּאת הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃
24 This is the day which the Lord has made: let us exult and rejoice in it.
זֶה־הַיּוֹם עָשָׂה יְהֹוָה נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בֽוֹ׃
25 O Lord, save now: O Lord, send now prosperity.
אָנָּא יְהֹוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא אָנָּא יְהֹוָה הַצְלִיחָה נָּֽא׃
26 Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה בֵּרַכְנוּכֶם מִבֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃
27 God is the Lord, and he has shined upon us: celebrate the feast with thick [branches, binding the victims] even to the horns of the altar.
אֵל ׀ יְהֹוָה וַיָּאֶר לָנוּ אִסְרוּ־חַג בַּעֲבֹתִים עַד־קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃
28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks: you are my God, and I will exalt you. I will give thanks to you, for you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
אֵלִי אַתָּה וְאוֹדֶךָּ אֱלֹהַי אֲרוֹמְמֶֽךָּ׃
29 Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
