Psalms 118

1 Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time.

2 Now let Israel say, His kindness [is] for all time.

3 Now let the house of Aaron say, His kindness [is] for all time.

4 Now let those fearing YHWH say, His kindness [is] for all time.

5 I called YAH from the narrow place, YAH answered me in a broad place.

6 YHWH [is] for me, I do not fear what man does to me.

7 YHWH [is] for me among my helpers, And I look on those hating me.

8 Better to take refuge in YHWH, Than to trust in man,

9 Better to take refuge in YHWH, Than to trust in princes.

10 All nations have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

11 They have surrounded me, Indeed, they have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

12 They surrounded me as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

13 You have severely thrust me to fall, And YHWH has helped me.

14 YAH is my strength and song, And He is to me for salvation.

15 A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.

16 The right hand of YHWH is exalted, The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.

17 I do not die, but live, And recount the works of YAH,

18 YAH has severely disciplined me, And has not given me up to death.

19 Open gates of righteousness to me, I enter into them—I thank YAH.

20 This [is] the gate to YHWH, The righteous enter into it.

21 I thank You, for You have answered me, And are to me for salvation.

22 A stone the builders refused Has become head of a corner.

23 This has been from YHWH, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,

24 This [is] the day YHWH has made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

25 Ah, now, O YHWH, please save, Ah, now, O YHWH, please prosper.

26 Blessed [is] He who is coming In the Name of YHWH, We blessed you from the house of YHWH,

27 God [is] YHWH, and He gives light to us, Direct the festal-sacrifice with cords, To the horns of the altar.

28 You [are] my God, and I confess You, My God, I exalt You.

29 Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!
