1 Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Give praise to Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 I pray you! let Israel, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 I pray you! let the house of Aaron, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 I pray you! let them who revere Yahweh, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 Out of a strait, called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.
In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.
6 Yahweh, is on my side, I will not fear, What can man, do unto me?
The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.
7 Yahweh, is on my side, with them who help me, I, therefore shall gaze upon them who hate me.
The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.
8 It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man:
It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.
9 It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in nobles.
It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.
10 All nations, have compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;
All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
11 They have compassed me about—yea compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;
Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
12 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.
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 Thou didst, thrust sore, at me that I might fall, But, Yahweh, hath helped me.
Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.
14 My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by salvation.
The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.
15 The voice of shouting and salvation, is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Yahweh, is doing valiantly:
The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.
16 The right hand of Yahweh, is exalted, The right hand of Yahweh, 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 shall not die, but live, That I may recount the doings of Yah.
I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.
18 Yah, chastened me sore, But, unto death, did not deliver me.
The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will enter therein, I will give thanks unto 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 for Yahweh, Such as are righteous, shall enter therein.
This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.
21 I will thank thee, because thou hast answered me, And hast become mine, by salvation.
I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.
22 A stone the builders refused, hath become the head of the corner:
The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.
23 From Yahweh, hath this come to pass, The same, is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the Lord’s doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.
24 This is the day, which Yahweh hath made, We will exult, and be glad therein.
This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.
25 Ah now, Yahweh, do save, we beseech thee, Ah now, Yahweh, do send success, we beseech thee!
O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.
26 Blessed be he that entereth, In the Name of Yahweh, we have blessed you, out of the house of Yahweh.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27 Yahweh is GOD, and hath shed on us light, —Bind ye the festal sacrifice with cords, Up 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 My GOD, thou art, and I will thank thee, —My Elohim, I will exalt thee.
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 ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
