Psalms 118

1 Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time.

Give praise to Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Now let Israel say, His kindness [is] for all time.

Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.

3 Now let the house of Aaron say, His kindness [is] for all time.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

4 Now let those fearing YHWH say, His kindness [is] for all time.

Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

5 I called YAH from the narrow place, YAH answered me in a broad place.

In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.

6 YHWH [is] for me, I do not fear what man does to me.

The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.

7 YHWH [is] for me among my helpers, And I look on those hating me.

The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.

8 Better to take refuge in YHWH, Than to trust in man,

It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.

9 Better to take refuge in YHWH, Than to trust in princes.

It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.

10 All nations have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

11 They have surrounded me, Indeed, they have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

12 They surrounded me as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them.

13 You have severely thrust me to fall, And YHWH has helped me.

Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.

14 YAH is my strength and song, And He is to me for salvation.

The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.

15 A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.

The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.

16 The right hand of YHWH is exalted, The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.

The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength.

17 I do not die, but live, And recount the works of YAH,

I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.

18 YAH has severely disciplined me, And has not given me up to death.

The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.

19 Open gates of righteousness to me, I enter into them—I thank YAH.

Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.

20 This [is] the gate to YHWH, The righteous enter into it.

This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.

21 I thank You, for You have answered me, And are to me for salvation.

I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

22 A stone the builders refused Has become head of a corner.

The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.

23 This has been from YHWH, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,

This is the Lord’s doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.

24 This [is] the day YHWH has made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.

25 Ah, now, O YHWH, please save, Ah, now, O YHWH, please prosper.

O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.

26 Blessed [is] He who is coming In the Name of YHWH, We blessed you from the house of YHWH,

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

27 God [is] YHWH, and He gives light to us, Direct the festal-sacrifice with cords, To the horns of the altar.

The Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us. Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs, even to the horn of the alter.

28 You [are] my God, and I confess You, My God, I exalt You.

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

29 Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!

O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
