Psalms 118

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

הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

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

יֹֽאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

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

יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָא בֵֽית־אַהֲרֹן כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

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

יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָא יִרְאֵי יְהוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

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

מִֽן־הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָּהּ עָנָנִי בַמֶּרְחָב יָֽהּ׃

6 The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

יְהוָה לִי לֹא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לִי אָדָֽם׃

7 The LORD is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.

יְהוָה לִי בְּעֹזְרָי וַאֲנִי אֶרְאֶה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃

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

טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בָּאָדָֽם׃

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

טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃

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

כָּל־גּוֹיִם סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

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

סַבּוּנִי גַם־סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

12 They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the LORD’s name I cut them off.

סַבּוּנִי כִדְבוֹרִים דֹּעֲכוּ כְּאֵשׁ קוֹצִים בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה כִּי אֲמִילַֽם׃

13 You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but the LORD helped me.

דַּחֹה דְחִיתַנִי לִנְפֹּל וַיהוָה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃

14 The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation [yeshu`ah].

עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַֽיְהִי־לִי לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation [yeshu`ah] is in the tents of the righteous. “The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

קוֹל ׀ רִנָּה וִֽישׁוּעָה בְּאָהֳלֵי צַדִּיקִים יְמִין יְהוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD does valiantly!”

יְמִין יְהוָה רוֹמֵמָה יְמִין יְהוָה עֹשָׂה חָֽיִל׃

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

לֹֽא אָמוּת כִּי־אֶֽחְיֶה וַאֲסַפֵּר מַֽעֲשֵׂי יָֽהּ׃

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

יַסֹּר יִסְּרַנִּי יָּהּ וְלַמָּוֶת לֹא נְתָנָֽנִי׃

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to the LORD.

פִּתְחוּ־לִי שַׁעֲרֵי־צֶדֶק אָֽבֹא־בָם אוֹדֶה יָֽהּ׃

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

זֶֽה־הַשַּׁעַר לַיהוָה צַדִּיקִים יָבֹאוּ בֽוֹ׃

21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation [yeshu`ah].

אוֹדְךָ כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי וַתְּהִי־לִי לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

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

אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃

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

מֵאֵת יְהוָה הָיְתָה זֹּאת הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃

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

זֶה־הַיּוֹם עָשָׂה יְהוָה נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בֽוֹ׃

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

אָנָּא יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא אָֽנָּא יְהוָה הַצְלִיחָה נָּֽא׃

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

בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה בֵּרַֽכְנוּכֶם מִבֵּית יְהוָֽה׃

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

אֵל ׀ יְהוָה וַיָּאֶר לָנוּ אִסְרוּ־חַג בַּעֲבֹתִים עַד־קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃

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

אֵלִי אַתָּה וְאוֹדֶךָּ אֱלֹהַי אֲרוֹמְמֶֽךָּ׃

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

הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
