Psalms 118
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.
| הודו ליהוה כי-טוב כי לעולם חסדו |
2 Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever.
| יאמר-נא ישראל כי לעולם חסדו |
3 Let the house of Aaron now say: For his mercy is forever.
| יאמרו-נא בית-אהרן כי לעולם חסדו |
4 Let those who fear the Lord now say: For his mercy is forever.
| יאמרו-נא יראי יהוה כי לעולם חסדו |
5 In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity.
| מן-המצר קראתי יה ענני במרחב יה |
6 The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.
| יהוה לי לא אירא מה-יעשה לי אדם |
7 The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies.
| יהוה לי בעזרי ואני אראה בשנאי |
8 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man.
| טוב לחסות ביהוה-- מבטח באדם |
9 It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders.
| טוב לחסות ביהוה-- מבטח בנדיבים |
10 All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
| כל-גוים סבבוני בשם יהוה כי אמילם |
11 Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
| סבוני גם-סבבוני בשם יהוה כי אמילם |
12 They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
| סבוני כדבורים-- דעכו כאש קוצים בשם יהוה כי אמילם |
13 Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up.
| דחה דחיתני לנפל ויהוה עזרני |
14 The Lord is my strength and my praise. And he has become my salvation.
| עזי וזמרת יה ויהי-לי לישועה |
15 A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.
| קול רנה וישועה--באהלי צדיקים ימין יהוה עשה חיל |
16 The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue.
| ימין יהוה רוממה ימין יהוה עשה חיל |
17 I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.
| לא-אמות כי-אחיה ואספר מעשי יה |
18 When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death.
| יסר יסרני יה ולמות לא נתנני |
19 Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord.
| פתחו-לי שערי-צדק אבא-בם אודה יה |
20 This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it.
| זה-השער ליהוה צדיקים יבאו בו |
21 I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my salvation.
| אודך כי עניתני ותהי-לי לישועה |
22 The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner.
| אבן מאסו הבונים-- היתה לראש פנה |
23 By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes.
| מאת יהוה היתה זאת היא נפלאת בעינינו |
24 This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it.
| זה-היום עשה יהוה נגילה ונשמחה בו |
25 O Lord, grant salvation to me. O Lord, grant good prosperity.
| אנא יהוה הושיעה נא אנא יהוה הצליחה נא |
26 Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
| ברוך הבא בשם יהוה ברכנוכם מבית יהוה |
27 The Lord is God, and he has enlightened us. Establish a solemn day amid a dense crowd, even to the horn of the altar.
| אל יהוה--ויאר-לנו אסרו-חג בעבתים--עד קרנות המזבח |
28 You are my God, and I will confess to you. You are my God, and I will exalt you. I will confess to you, for you have heeded me. And you have become my salvation.
| אלי אתה ואודך אלהי ארוממך |
29 Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.
| הודו ליהוה כי-טוב כי לעולם חסדו |
