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