Psalm 118

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
1 # ver. 29; See Ps. 100:5 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 # [Ps. 115:9, 10, 11] Let Israel say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
3 # [See ver. 2 above] Let the house of Aaron say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
4 # [See ver. 2 above] Let those who fear the Lord say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
5 # [Jonah 2:1] Out of my distress I #[Ps. 116:4] called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me #See Ps. 18:19free.
6 #
Ps. 56:9; Cited Heb. 13:6 The Lord is on my side; #See Ps. 23:4; 56:4, 11I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 #
Ps. 54:4 The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall #See Ps. 54:7look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 # [Ps. 40:4; 62:8] It is better to take refuge in the Lord
#
Ps. 146:3
than to trust in man.
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord
# [See ver. 8 above] than to trust in princes.
10 # [Ps. 88:17] All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
11They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 #
Deut. 1:44 They surrounded me like bees;
they went out like #[Ps. 58:9]a fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13I was #[Ps. 140:4]pushed hard,#118:13 Hebrew You (that is, the enemy) pushed me hard so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and my song;
# See Ps. 27:1 he has become my salvation.
15Glad songs of salvation
are in the tents of the righteous:
#
Ex. 15:6; Luke 1:51 “The right hand of the Lord #Ps. 60:12does valiantly,
16the right hand of the Lord exalts,
the right hand of the Lord #[See ver. 15 above]does valiantly!”
17 # [Hab. 1:12] I shall not die, but I shall live,
and #Ps. 73:28; 107:22; [Ps. 6:5]recount the deeds of the Lord.
18The Lord has #[Jer. 30:11; 2 Cor. 6:9]disciplined me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
19 #
Isa. 26:2; [Ps. 24:7, 9] Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
20This is the gate of the Lord;
#
Rev. 21:27; 22:14; [Isa. 35:8] the righteous shall enter through it.
21I thank you that #Ps. 116:1 you have answered me
# [See ver. 14 above] and have become my salvation.
22 # Cited Matt. 21:42; Mark 12:10, 11; Luke 20:17; [Isa. 28:16]; Acts 4:11; Eph. 2:20; 1 Pet. 2:4-7 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.#118:22 Hebrew the head of the corner
23This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save us, we pray, O Lord!
O Lord, we pray, give us success!
26 #
Matt. 21:9; 23:39; Mark 11:9; Luke 13:35; 19:38 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We #Ps. 129:8bless you from the house of the Lord.
27The Lord is God,
and he has made #Ps. 18:28; 97:11; [Esth. 8:16; 1 Pet. 2:9] his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
up to #See Ex. 27:2the horns of the altar!
28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I will #See Ps. 99:5extol you.
29 # ver. 1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!

Tehillim 118
118
1O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov; Ki l'olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).
2Let Yisroel now say, Ki l'olam chasdo.
3Let the Bais Aharon now say, Ki l'olam chasdo.
4Let them now that fear Hashem say, Ki l'olam chasdo,
5I called upon Hashem in distress; Hashem answered me, and set me in a broad place.
6 Hashem is on my side; I will not fear; what can adam do unto me?
7 Hashem taketh my part through them that help me; therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8It is better to trust in Hashem than to put confidence in adam.
9It is better to trust in Hashem than to put confidence in nedivim (nobles).
10All Goyim surrounded me; but in the Shem Hashem will I cut them off.
11They surrounded me; yes, they compassed me about; but in the Shem Hashem I will cut them off.
12They compassed me about like devorim (bees); they are extinguished like the eish of kotzim (thorns); for in the Shem Hashem I will cut them off.
13Thou hast hard pushed at me that I fell; but Hashem helped me.
14 Hashem is my oz (strength) and zimrah (song), and He is become my Yeshu'ah (salvation).
15The voice of rejoicing and Yeshu'ah (salvation) is in the ohalim of the tzaddikim; the Yamin Hashem doeth valiantly.
16The Yamin Hashem is exalted; the Yamin Hashem doeth valiantly.
17I shall not die, but live, and declare the ma'asim (works) of Hashem.
18 Hashem hath hard chastened me severely; but He hath not given me over unto mavet (death).
19Open to me the sha'arei tzedek; I will go through them, and I will praise Hashem;
20This is the sha'ar of Hashem, into which the tzaddikim shall enter.
21I will praise Thee; for Thou hast heard me, and art become my Yeshu'ah (salvation).
22The Even (Stone) which the Bonim (Builders) rejected#118:22 mem-alef-samech, see same word Ps 89:38 [39] has become the Rosh Pinnah (Cornerstone).
23This is Hashemʼs doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24This is the yom which Hashem hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save now, we beseech Thee, Hashem; Hashem, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26Baruch habah b'Shem Hashem; we have blessed you from the Beis Hashem.
27 Hashem is G-d, Who hath showed us light; bind the chag (festival offering) with cords, even until#118:27 you come to the karnot of the Mizbe'ach.
28Thou art my G-d, and I will praise Thee; Thou art Elohai, I will exalt Thee.
29O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov; ki l'olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).#118:29 T.N. A ma'amin b'Moshiach will carry Scripture with him at all times, as the following Psalm teaches.
