Psalms 118

1‘O give thanks unto YHWH, for He is good, For His mercy endureth for ever.

2So let Israel now say, For His mercy endureth for ever,

3So let the house of Aaron now say, For His mercy endureth for ever.

4So let them now that fear YHWH say, For His mercy endureth for ever.

5Out of my straits I called upon Yah; He answered me with great enlargement.

6YHWH is for me; I will not fear; What can man do unto me?

7YHWH is for me as my helper; And I shall gaze upon them that hate me.

8It is better to take refuge in YHWH Than to trust in man.

9It is better to take refuge in YHWH Than to trust in princes.

10All nations compass me about; Verily, in the name of YHWH I will cut them off.

11They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; Verily, in the name of YHWH I will cut them off.

12They compass me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns; Verily, in the name of YHWH I will cut them off.

13Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But YHWH helped me.

14Yah is my strength and song; And He is become my salvation.

15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of YHWH doeth valiantly.

16The right hand of YHWH is exalted; The right hand of YHWH doeth valiantly.

17I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Yah.

18Yah hath chastened me sore; But He hath not given me over unto death.

19Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Yah.

20This is the gate of YHWH; The righteous shall enter into it.

21I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation.

22The stone which the builders rejected Is become the chief corner-stone.

23This is YHWH's doing; It is marvellous in our eyes.

24This is the day which YHWH hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

25We beseech Thee, O YHWH, save now! We beseech Thee, O YHWH, make us now to prosper!

26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of YHWH; We bless you out of the house of YHWH.

27YHWH is God, and hath given us light; Order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.

28Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.

29O give thanks unto YHWH, for He is good, For His mercy endureth for ever.
