Psalms 118

1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

2 Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

יֹאמְרוּ־נָא בֵֽית־אַהֲרֹן כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

4 Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

יֹאמְרוּ־נָא יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

5 I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place.

מִֽן־הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָּהּ עָנָנִי בַמֶּרְחָב יָֽהּ׃

6 Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

יְהֹוָה לִי לֹא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לִי אָדָֽם׃

7 Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

יְהֹוָה לִי בְּעֹזְרָי וַאֲנִי אֶרְאֶה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃

8 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;

טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהֹוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בָּאָדָֽם׃

9 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.

טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהֹוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃

10 All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

כׇּל־גּוֹיִם סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

11 They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

סַבּוּנִי גַם־סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

12 They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

סַבּוּנִי כִדְבוֹרִים דֹּעֲכוּ כְּאֵשׁ קוֹצִים בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

13 Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.

דַּחֹה דְחִיתַנִי לִנְפֹּל וַיהֹוָה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃

14 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.

עׇזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַֽיְהִי־לִי לִישׁוּעָֽה׃

15 The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;

קוֹל ׀ רִנָּה וִישׁוּעָה בְּאׇהֳלֵי צַדִּיקִים יְמִין יְהֹוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃

16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

יְמִין יְהֹוָה רוֹמֵמָה יְמִין יְהֹוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.

לֹא־אָמוּת כִּֽי־אֶחְיֶה וַאֲסַפֵּר מַעֲשֵׂי יָֽהּ׃

18 Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.

יַסֹּר יִסְּרַנִּי יָּהּ וְלַמָּוֶת לֹא נְתָנָֽנִי׃

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.

פִּתְחוּ־לִי שַׁעֲרֵי־צֶדֶק אָבֹא־בָם אוֹדֶה יָֽהּ׃

20 This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.

זֶה־הַשַּׁעַר לַיהֹוָה צַדִּיקִים יָבֹאוּ בֽוֹ׃

21 I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

אוֹדְךָ כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי וַתְּהִי־לִי לִישׁוּעָֽה׃

22 [The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:

אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃

23 This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.

מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה הָיְתָה זֹּאת הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃

24 This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

זֶה־הַיּוֹם עָשָׂה יְהֹוָה נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בֽוֹ׃

25 Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity!

אָנָּא יְהֹוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא אָנָּא יְהֹוָה הַצְלִיחָה נָּֽא׃

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה בֵּרַכְנוּכֶם מִבֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃

27 Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, — up to the horns of the altar.

אֵל ׀ יְהֹוָה וַיָּאֶר לָנוּ אִסְרוּ־חַג בַּעֲבֹתִים עַד־קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃

28 Thou art my God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee.

אֵלִי אַתָּה וְאוֹדֶךָּ אֱלֹהַי אֲרוֹמְמֶֽךָּ׃

29 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
