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

Psalm 118
1Give thanks to the LORD because he is good,
because his faithful love lasts forever.
2Let Israel say it:
“God’s faithful love lasts forever!”
3Let the house of Aaron say it:
“God’s faithful love lasts forever!”
4Let those who honor the LORD say it:
“God’s faithful love lasts forever!”
5In tight circumstances, I cried out to the LORD.
The LORD answered me with wide-open spaces.
6The LORD is for me#118.6 LXX with me or mine; also in 118:7—I won’t be afraid.
What can anyone do to me?
7The LORD is for me—as my helper.
I look in victory on those who hate me.
8It’s far better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust any human.
9It’s far better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust any human leader.
10All the nations surrounded me,
but I cut them down#118.10 Heb uncertain; LXX, Vulg drove or warded off; also in 118:11-12 in the LORD’s name.
11Yes, they surrounded me on every single side,
but I cut them down in the LORD’s name.
12They surrounded me like bees,
but they were extinguished like burning thorns.
I cut them down in the LORD’s name!
13I was pushed so hard#118.13 LXX, Vulg, Syr; MT you pushed me I nearly died,
but the LORD helped me.
14The LORD was my strength and protection;
he was my saving help!
15The sounds of joyful songs and deliverance
are heard in the tents of the righteous:
“The LORD’s strong hand is victorious!
16The LORD’s strong hand is ready to strike!
The LORD’s strong hand is victorious!”
17I won’t die—no, I will live
and declare what the LORD has done.
18Yes, the LORD definitely disciplined me,
but he didn’t hand me over to death.
19Open the gates of righteousness for me
so I can come in and give thanks to the LORD!
20This is the LORD’s gate;
those who are righteous enter through it.
21I thank you because you answered me,
because you were my saving help.
22The stone rejected by the builders
is now the main foundation stone!
23This has happened because of the LORD;
it is astounding in our sight!
24This is the day the LORD acted;
we will rejoice and celebrate in it!
25 LORD, please save us!
LORD, please let us succeed!
26The one who enters in the LORD’s name is blessed;
we bless all of you from the LORD’s house.
27The LORD is God!
He has shined a light on us!
So lead the festival offering with ropes
all the way to the horns of the altar.#118.27 Heb uncertain
28You are my God—I will give thanks to you!
You are my God—I will lift you up high!
29Give thanks to the LORD because he is good,
because his faithful love lasts forever.
