Psalms 118
118
1O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:
For his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let Israel now say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
3Let the house of Aaron now say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
4Let them now that fear the LORD say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
5Out of my distress I called upon the LORD:
The LORD answered me and set me in a large place.
6The LORD is on my side; I will not fear:
What can man do unto me?
7The LORD is on my side among them that help me:
Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man
9It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in princes.
10All nations compassed me about:
In the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
In the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
In the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
13Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall:
But the LORD helped me.
14The LORD is my strength and song;
And he is become my salvation.
15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:
The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16The right hand of the LORD is exalted:
The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of the LORD.
18The LORD hath chastened me sore:
But he hath not given me over unto death.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.
20This is the gate of the LORD;
The righteous shall enter into it.
21I will give thanks unto thee, for thou hast answered me,
And art become my salvation.
22The stone which the builders rejected
Is become the head of the corner.
23This is the LORD's doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day which the LORD hath made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD:
O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD:
We have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27The LORD is God, and he hath given us light:
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee:
Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:
For his mercy endureth for ever.

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.
