Psalms 118

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

2 Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

יֹֽאמַר־נָ֥א יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

3 Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָ֥א בֵֽית־אַהֲרֹ֑ן כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

4 Now let those who fear the LORD say that his loving kindness endures forever.

יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָ֭א יִרְאֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

5 Out of my distress, I called on the LORD. The LORD answered me with freedom.

מִֽן־הַ֭מֵּצַ֥ר קָרָ֣אתִי יָּ֑הּ עָנָ֖נִי בַמֶּרְחָ֣ב יָֽהּ׃

6 The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can humans do to me?

יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י לֹ֣א אִירָ֑א מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לִ֣י אָדָֽם׃

7 The LORD is my helper; and I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י בְּעֹזְרָ֑י וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶרְאֶ֥ה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃

8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.

טֹ֗וב לַחֲסֹ֥ות בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בָּאָדָֽם׃

9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in princes.

טֹ֗וב לַחֲסֹ֥ות בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃

10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD, I cut them off.

כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃

11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of the LORD I indeed cut them off.

סַבּ֥וּנִי גַם־סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃

12 They surrounded me like bees. They blazed like a fire among thorns. In the name of the LORD I cut them off.

סַבּ֤וּנִי כִדְבֹורִ֗ים דֹּ֭עֲכוּ כְּאֵ֣שׁ קֹוצִ֑ים בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃

13 I was pushed hard, to make me fall, but the LORD helped me.

דַּחֹ֣ה דְחִיתַ֣נִי לִנְפֹּ֑ל וַ֖יהוָ֣ה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃

14 The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.

עָזִּ֣י וְזִמְרָ֣ת יָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־לִ֝֗י לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

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

קֹ֤ול ׀ רִנָּ֬ה וִֽישׁוּעָ֗ה בְּאָהֳלֵ֥י צַדִּיקִ֑ים יְמִ֥ין יְ֝הוָה עֹ֣שָׂה חָֽיִל׃

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted. The right hand of the LORD does valiantly."

יְמִ֣ין יְ֭הוָה רֹומֵמָ֑ה יְמִ֥ין יְ֝הוָה עֹ֣שָׂה חָֽיִל׃

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

לֹֽא אָמ֥וּת כִּי־אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה וַ֝אֲסַפֵּ֗ר מַֽעֲשֵׂ֥י יָֽהּ׃

18 The LORD has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

יַסֹּ֣ר יִסְּרַ֣נִּי יָּ֑הּ וְ֝לַמָּ֗וֶת לֹ֣א נְתָנָֽנִי׃

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them and praise the LORD.

פִּתְחוּ־לִ֥י שַׁעֲרֵי־צֶ֑דֶק אָֽבֹא־בָ֝ם אֹודֶ֥ה יָֽהּ׃

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

זֶֽה־הַשַּׁ֥עַר לַיהוָ֑ה צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יָבֹ֥אוּ בֹֽו׃

21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.

אֹ֭ודְךָ כִּ֣י עֲנִיתָ֑נִי וַתְּהִי־לִ֝֗י לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

אֶ֭בֶן מָאֲס֣וּ הַבֹּונִ֑ים הָ֝יְתָ֗ה לְרֹ֣אשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃

23 This is the LORD's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.

מֵאֵ֣ת יְ֭הוָה הָ֣יְתָה זֹּ֑את הִ֖יא נִפְלָ֣את בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃

24 This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

זֶה־הַ֭יֹּום עָשָׂ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה נָגִ֖ילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָ֣ה בֹֽו׃

25 Save us now, we beg you, LORD. LORD, we beg you, send prosperity now.

אָנָּ֣א יְ֭הוָה הֹושִׁ֘יעָ֥ה נָּ֑א אָֽנָּ֥א יְ֝הוָ֗ה הַצְלִ֘יחָ֥ה נָּֽא׃

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. We have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

בָּר֣וּךְ הַ֭בָּא בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה בֵּ֝רַֽכְנוּכֶ֗ם מִבֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

27 The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

אֵ֤ל ׀ יְהוָה֮ וַיָּ֪אֶר לָ֥נוּ אִסְרוּ־חַ֥ג בַּעֲבֹתִ֑ים עַד־קַ֝רְנֹ֗ות הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃

28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.

אֵלִ֣י אַתָּ֣ה וְאֹודֶ֑ךָּ אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אֲרֹומְמֶֽךָּ׃

29 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃
