Psalms 118

1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'

הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

2 So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,

יֹֽאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

3 So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.

יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָא בֵֽית־אַהֲרֹן כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

4 So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.

יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָא יִרְאֵי יְהוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

5 Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.

מִֽן־הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָּהּ עָנָנִי בַמֶּרְחָב יָֽהּ׃

6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

יְהוָה לִי לֹא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לִי אָדָֽם׃

7 The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.

יְהוָה לִי בְּעֹזְרָי וַאֲנִי אֶרְאֶה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃

8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בָּאָדָֽם׃

9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃

10 All nations compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

כָּל־גּוֹיִם סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

11 They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

סַבּוּנִי גַם־סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

12 They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

סַבּוּנִי כִדְבוֹרִים דֹּעֲכוּ כְּאֵשׁ קוֹצִים בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.

דַּחֹה דְחִיתַנִי לִנְפֹּל וַיהוָה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃

14 The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.

עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַֽיְהִי־לִי לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

קוֹל ׀ רִנָּה וִֽישׁוּעָה בְּאָהֳלֵי צַדִּיקִים יְמִין יְהוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

יְמִין יְהוָה רוֹמֵמָה יְמִין יְהוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃

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

לֹֽא אָמוּת כִּי־אֶֽחְיֶה וַאֲסַפֵּר מַֽעֲשֵׂי יָֽהּ׃

18 The LORD 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, I will give thanks unto the LORD.

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

20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.

זֶֽה־הַשַּׁעַר לַיהוָה צַדִּיקִים יָבֹאוּ בֽוֹ׃

21 I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

אוֹדְךָ כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי וַתְּהִי־לִי לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

22 The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.

אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃

23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

מֵאֵת יְהוָה הָיְתָה זֹּאת הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃

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

זֶה־הַיּוֹם עָשָׂה יְהוָה נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בֽוֹ׃

25 We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!

אָנָּא יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא אָֽנָּא יְהוָה הַצְלִיחָה נָּֽא׃

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.

בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה בֵּרַֽכְנוּכֶם מִבֵּית יְהוָֽה׃

27 The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.

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

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

אֵלִי אַתָּה וְאוֹדֶךָּ אֱלֹהַי אֲרוֹמְמֶֽךָּ׃

29 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.

הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
