Psalms 118

1 O give thanks unto יהוה; for He is good, because His mercy endureth forever.

2 Let Yisrael now say, “His mercy endureth forever.”

3 Let the house of Aaron (Aharon) now say, “His mercy endureth forever.”

4 Let them now that fear יהוה say, “His mercy endureth forever.”

5 I called upon יהוה in distress; יהוה answered me, and set me in a large place.

6 יהוה is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do unto me?

7 יהוה taketh my part with them that help me; therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

8 It is better to trust in יהוה than to put confidence in man.

9 It is better to trust in יהוה than to put confidence in princes.

10 All nations compassed me about, but in the name of יהוה will I destroy them.

11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about, but in the name of יהוה I will destroy them.

12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns, for in the name of יהוה I will destroy them.

13 You have thrust sore at me that I might fall, but יהוה helped me.

14 יהוה is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous; the right hand of יהוה doeth valiantly.

16 The right hand of יהוה is exalted; the right hand of יהוה doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of יהוה.

18 יהוה hath chastened me sore, but he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and I will praise יהוה.

20 This gate of יהוה, into which the righteous shall enter.

21 I will praise You, for You have heard me, and art become my salvation.

22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

23 This is יהוה’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which יהוה hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save now, I beseech You, O יהוה; O יהוה, I beseech You, send now prosperity.

26 Blessed is He who cometh in the name of יהוה; we have blessed You out of the house of יהוה.

27 God (El) is יהוה, who hath shewed us light; bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God (Eli), and I will praise You; You are my God (Elohim), I will exalt You.

29 O give thanks unto יהוה, for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever.
