Psalms 118
1 Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever.
alleluia confitemini Domino quoniam bonus quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius
2 Let all Israel say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
dicat nunc Israhel quoniam bonus quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius
3 Let Aaron's descendants say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
dicat nunc domus Aaron quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius
4 Let those who honor the Lord say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
dicant nunc qui timent Dominum quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius
5 I was suffering badly, so I cried out to the Lord for help. He answered me and set me free from my pain.
de tribulatione invocavi Dominum et exaudivit me in latitudinem Dominus
6 The Lord is with me, so I have nothing to fear. No one can harm me.
Dominus mihi adiutor non timebo quid faciat mihi homo
7 The Lord is with me, he will help me. I will see those who hate me defeated.
Dominus mihi adiutor et ego despiciam inimicos meos
8 It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in people.
bonum est confidere in Domino quam confidere in homine
9 It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in the rich and powerful.
bonum est sperare in Domino quam sperare in principibus
10 Even though all the heathen nations surrounded me, I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
omnes gentes circumierunt me et in nomine Domini quia; ultus sum in eos
11 They completely surrounded me, but even so I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
circumdantes circumdederunt me in nomine autem Domini quia; ultus sum in eos
12 Like a swarm of bees they attacked, but their attack died out as quickly as burning thorn twigs. I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
circumdederunt me sicut apes et exarserunt sicut ignis in spinis et in nomine Domini quia; ultus sum in eos
13 They tried as hard as they could to kill me, but the Lord helped me.
inpulsus eversus sum ut caderem et Dominus suscepit me
14 The Lord is my strength, and the one I sing about. He is the one who saves me.
fortitudo mea et laudatio mea Dominus et factus est mihi in salutem
15 Songs of celebration and victory come from the tents of the faithful. The Lord's powerful hand has done amazing things!
vox exultationis et salutis in tabernaculis iustorum
16 The Lord raises his powerful hand in victory! The Lord's powerful hand has done amazing things!
dextera Domini fecit virtutem dextera Domini exaltavit me dextera Domini fecit virtutem
17 I'm not going to die. In fact I'm going to live, and let people know what the Lord has done.
non moriar sed vivam et narrabo opera Domini
18 Even though the Lord punished me severely, he did not let me die.
castigans castigavit me Dominus et morti non tradidit me
19 Open the gates of the faithful for me so I can go in and thank the Lord.
aperite mihi portas iustitiae ingressus in eas confitebor Domino
20 These are the gates of the Lord where God's faithful people enter.
haec porta Domini iusti intrabunt in eam
21 I want to thank you for answering me and for being the one who saves me.
confitebor tibi quoniam exaudisti me et factus es mihi in salutem
22 The stone rejected by the builders has turned out to be the chief cornerstone.
lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli
23 The Lord has done this, and it looks wonderful to us!
a Domino factum est istud hoc est mirabile in oculis nostris
24 The Lord made this day happen! We will celebrate and be happy for it!
haec est dies quam fecit Dominus exultemus et laetemur in ea
25 Lord, please save us! Lord, please make us successful!
o Domine salvum fac o Domine prosperare
26 May the one who comes in the power of the Lord by blessed! We bless you from the house of the Lord!
benedictus qui venturus est in nomine Domini benediximus vobis de domo Domini
27 The Lord is God, and his goodness shines on us. Branches in hand, start the procession up towards the altar.
Deus Dominus et inluxit nobis constituite diem sollemnem in condensis usque ad cornua altaris
28 You are my God, and I will thank you! You are my God, and I will praise you!
Deus meus es tu et confitebor tibi Deus meus es tu et exaltabo te confitebor tibi quoniam exaudisti me et factus es mihi in salutem
29 Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever!
confitemini Domino quoniam bonus quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius
