Psalms 118

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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