Psalms 118

1O give thanks unto Yahweh; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

2Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

3Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

4Let them now that fear Yahweh say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

5I called upon Yahweh in distress: Yahweh answered me, and set me in a large place.

6Yahweh is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

7Yahweh taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

8It is better to trust in Yahweh than to put confidence in man.

9It is better to trust in Yahweh than to put confidence in princes.

10All nations compassed me about: but in the name of Yahweh will I destroy them.

11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of Yahweh I will destroy them.

12They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Yahweh I will destroy them.

13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but Yahweh helped me.

14Yahweh is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of Yahweh doeth valiantly.

16The right hand of Yahweh is exalted: the right hand of Yahweh doeth valiantly.

17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Yahweh.

18Yahweh hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise Yahweh:

20This gate of Yahweh, into which the righteous shall enter.

21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

22The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

23This is Yahweh's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

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

25Save now, I beseech thee, O Yahweh: O Yahweh, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Yahweh: we have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.

27God is Yahweh, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29O give thanks unto Yahweh; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
