Tehillim (Psalms) 118
118
1Oh, give thanks to יהוה, for He is good! Because His loving-commitment is everlasting.
2Let Yisra’ĕl now say, “His loving-commitment is everlasting.”
3Let the house of Aharon now say, “His loving-commitment is everlasting.”
4Let those who fear יהוה now say, “His loving-commitment is everlasting.”
5I called on Yah in distress; Yah answered me in a broad place.
6יהוה is on my side; I do not fear what man does to me!
7יהוה is for me among those helping me; Therefore I look on those hating me.
8It is better to take refuge in יהוה Than to trust in man.
9It is better to take refuge in יהוה Than to trust in princes.
10All the nations surrounded me, In the Name of יהוה I shall cut them off.
11They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; In the Name of יהוה shall I cut them off.
12They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like burning thorns; In the Name of יהוה I shall cut them off.
13Pushing, the enemy pushed me to fall, But יהוה helped me.
14Yah is my strength and song, And He has become my deliverance.#See footnote at Exo. 15:2
15The voice of rejoicing and deliverance Is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of יהוה is doing mightily.
16The right hand of יהוה is exalted, The right hand of יהוה acts mightily.
17Let me not die, but live, And declare the works of Yah.
18Yah has punished me severely, But did not give me over to death.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness; I enter through them, I thank Yah.
20This is the gate of יהוה, The righteous enter through it.
21I thank You, For You have answered me, And have become my deliverance.
22The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner-stone.#See also Acts. 4:11
23This was from יהוה, It is marvellous in our eyes.
24This is the day יהוה has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25I pray, O יהוה, please save us now;#Hebrew: Hoshianah. I pray, O יהוה, please send prosperity.
26Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!#See Mat. 21:9; John 12:13 and Deu. 18:18, 19, 20 We shall bless you from the House of יהוה.
27יהוה is Ěl, and He gave us light; Bind the festival offering With cords to the horns of the slaughter-place.
28You are my Ěl, and I praise You; You are my Elohim, I exalt You.
29Give thanks to יהוה, for He is good! For His loving-commitment is everlasting.

Psalms 118
118
Thanksgiving for Victory
1Thank the Lord because he is good.
His love continues forever.
2Let the people of Israel say,
“His love continues forever.”
3Let the family of Aaron say,
“His love continues forever.”
4Let those who respect the Lord say,
“His love continues forever.”
5I was in trouble, so I called to the Lord.
The Lord answered me and set me free.
6I will not be afraid, because the Lord is with me.
People can’t do anything to me.
7The Lord is with me to help me,
so I will see my enemies defeated.
8It is better to trust the Lord
than to trust people.
9It is better to trust the Lord
than to trust princes.
10All the nations surrounded me,
but I defeated them in the name of the Lord.
11They surrounded me on every side,
but with the Lord’s power I defeated them.
12They surrounded me like a swarm of bees,
but they died as quickly as thorns burn.
By the Lord’s power, I defeated them.
13They chased me until I was almost defeated,
but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord gives me strength and a song.
He has saved me.
15Shouts of joy and victory
come from the tents of those who do right:
“The Lord has done powerful things.”
16The power of the Lord has won the victory;
with his power the Lord has done mighty things.
17I will not die, but live,
and I will tell what the Lord has done.
18The Lord has taught me a hard lesson,
but he did not let me die.
19Open for me the Temple gates.
Then I will come in and thank the Lord.
20This is the Lord’s gate;
only those who are good may enter through it.
21Lord, I thank you for answering me.
You have saved me.
22The stone that the builders rejected
became the cornerstone.
23The Lord did this,
and it is wonderful to us.
24This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad today!
25Please, Lord, save us;
please, Lord, give us success.
26God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless all of you from the Temple of the Lord.
27The Lord is God,
and he has shown kindness to us.
With branches in your hands, join the feast.
Come to the corners of the altar.
28You are my God, and I will thank you;
you are my God, and I will praise your greatness.
29Thank the Lord because he is good.
His love continues forever.
