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.

“His love is eternal.”
3Let the priests of God say,
“His love is eternal.”

5In my distress I called to the LORD;

Heb 13.6
The LORD is with me, I will not be afraid;
what can anyone do to me?
7It is the LORD who helps me,
and I will see my enemies defeated.
8It is better to trust in the LORD
than to depend on human beings.
9It is better to trust in the LORD
than to depend on human leaders.
10Many enemies were round me;
but I destroyed them by the power of the LORD!
11They were round me on every side;
but I destroyed them by the power of the LORD!
12They swarmed round me like bees,
but they burnt out as quickly as a fire among thorns;
by the power of the LORD I destroyed them.
13I was fiercely attacked and was being defeated,
but the LORD helped me.
14 #
Ex 15.2; Is 12.2 The LORD makes me powerful and strong;
he has saved me.
15Listen to the glad shouts of victory in the tents of God's people:
“The LORD's mighty power has done it!
16His power has brought us victory —
his mighty power in battle!”
17I will not die; instead, I will live
and proclaim what the LORD has done.
18He has punished me severely,
but he has not let me die.
19Open to me the gates of the Temple;
I will go in and give thanks to the LORD!
20This is the gate of the LORD;
only the righteous can come in.
21I praise you, LORD, because you heard me,
because you have given me victory.

Lk 20.17; Acts 4.11; 1 Pet 2.7 #
Mt 21.42; Mk 12.10–11 The stone which the builders rejected as worthless
turned out to be the most important of all.
23This was done by the LORD;
what a wonderful sight it is!
24This is the day of the LORD's victory;
let us be happy, let us celebrate!
25 #
Mt 21.9; Mk 11.9; Jn 12.13 Save us, LORD, save us!

From the Temple of the LORD we bless you.
27The LORD is God; he has been good to us.
With branches in your hands, start the festival
and march round the altar.
28You are my God, and I give you thanks;
I will proclaim your greatness.
29Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good,
and his love is eternal.
