Psalm 118

 ^118:1Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
      For his lovingkindness endures forever.

 ^118:2Let Israel now say
      That his lovingkindness endures forever.

 ^118:3Let the house of Aaron now say
      That his lovingkindness endures forever.

 ^118:4Now let those who fear Yahweh say
      That his lovingkindness endures forever.

 ^118:5Out of my distress, I called on Yah.
      Yah answered me with freedom.

 ^118:6Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.
      What can man do to me?

 ^118:7Yahweh is on my side among those who help me.
      Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.

 ^118:8It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
      Than to put confidence in man.

 ^118:9It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
      Than to put confidence in princes.

 ^118:10All the nations surrounded me,
      But in the name of Yahweh, I cut them off.

 ^118:11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.
      In the name of Yahweh I indeed cut them off.

 ^118:12They surrounded me like bees.
      They are quenched like the burning thorns.
      In the name of Yahweh I cut them off.

 ^118:13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall,
      But Yahweh helped me.

 ^118:14Yah is my strength and song.
      He has become my salvation.

 ^118:15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous.
      "The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.

 ^118:16The right hand of Yahweh is exalted!
      The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!"

 ^118:17I will not die, but live,
      And declare Yah's works.

 ^118:18Yah has punished me severely,
      But he has not given me over to death.

 ^118:19Open to me the gates of righteousness.
      I will enter into them.
      I will give thanks to Yah.

 ^118:20This is the gate of Yahweh;
      The righteous will enter into it.

 ^118:21I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,
      And have become my salvation.

 ^118:22The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.

 ^118:23This is Yahweh's doing.
      It is marvelous in our eyes.

 ^118:24This is the day that Yahweh has made.
      We will rejoice and be glad in it!

 ^118:25Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh;
      Yahweh, we beg you, now send prosperity.

 ^118:26Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh!
      We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.

 ^118:27Yahweh is God, and he has given us light.
      Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

 ^118:28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.
      You are my God, I will exalt you.

 ^118:29Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
      For his lovingkindness endures forever.
