Psalms 118
1 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his kindness endureth for ever!
Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
2 Let Israel now say, His kindness endureth for ever!
I pray you! let Israel, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, His goodness endureth for ever!
I pray you! let the house of Aaron, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
4 Let all who fear the LORD say, His kindness endureth for ever!
I pray you! let them who revere Yahweh, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
5 I called upon the LORD in distress; He heard, and set me in a wide place.
Out of a strait, called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.
6 The LORD is on my side, I will not fear: What can man do to me?
Yahweh, is on my side, I will not fear, What can man, do unto me?
7 The LORD is my helper; I shall see my desire upon my enemies.
Yahweh, is on my side, with them who help me, I, therefore shall gaze upon them who hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man;
It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man:
9 It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes.
It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in nobles.
10 All the nations beset me around, But in the name of the LORD I destroyed them.
All nations, have compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;
11 They beset me on every side; But in the name of the LORD I destroyed them.
They have compassed me about—yea compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;
12 They beset me around like bees; They were quenched like the fire of thorns, For in the name of the LORD I destroyed them.
They have compassed me about like wax bees, they have blazed up like the fire of thorns, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised.
13 Thou didst assail me with violence to bring me down! But the LORD was my support.
Thou didst, thrust sore, at me that I might fall, But, Yahweh, hath helped me.
14 The LORD is my glory and my song; For to him I owe my salvation.
My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by salvation.
15 The voice of joy and salvation is in the habitations of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly;
The voice of shouting and salvation, is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Yahweh, is doing valiantly:
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.”
The right hand of Yahweh, is exalted, The right hand of Yahweh, is doing valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the deeds of the LORD.
I shall not die, but live, That I may recount the doings of Yah.
18 The LORD hath sorely chastened me, But he hath not given me over to death.
Yah, chastened me sore, But, unto death, did not deliver me.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, That I may go in, and praise the LORD!
Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will enter therein, I will give thanks unto Yah.
20 This is the gate of the LORD, Through which the righteous enter.
This, is the gate for Yahweh, Such as are righteous, shall enter therein.
21 I praise thee that thou hast heard me, And hast been my salvation.
I will thank thee, because thou hast answered me, And hast become mine, by salvation.
22 “The stone which the builders rejected Hath become the chief corner-stone.
A stone the builders refused, hath become the head of the corner:
23 This is the LORD'S doing; It is marvellous in our eyes!
From Yahweh, hath this come to pass, The same, is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
This is the day, which Yahweh hath made, We will exult, and be glad therein.
25 Hear, O LORD! and bless us! Hear, O LORD! and send us prosperity!”
Ah now, Yahweh, do save, we beseech thee, Ah now, Yahweh, do send success, we beseech thee!
26 “Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD.”
Blessed be he that entereth, In the Name of Yahweh, we have blessed you, out of the house of Yahweh.
27 “Jehovah is God, he hath shone upon us: Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar!”
Yahweh is GOD, and hath shed on us light, —Bind ye the festal sacrifice with cords, Up to the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee; Thou art my God, and I will exalt thee!
My GOD, thou art, and I will thank thee, —My Elohim, I will exalt thee.
29 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his kindness endureth for ever!
Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
