Psalms 118
1 Ref Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his loving kindness endures forever.
2 Ref Let Israel now say That his loving kindness endures forever.
3 Ref Let the house of Aaron now say That his loving kindness endures forever.
4 Ref Now let those who fear Yahweh say That his loving kindness endures forever.
5 Ref Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.
6 Ref Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
7 Ref Yahweh is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
8 Ref It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in man.
9 Ref It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in princes.
10 Ref All the nations surrounded me, But in the name of Yahweh, I cut them off.
11 Ref They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I indeed cut them off.
12 Ref They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of Yahweh I cut them off.
13 Ref You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, But Yahweh helped me.
14 Ref Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.
15 Ref The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.
16 Ref The right hand of Yahweh is exalted! The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!"
17 Ref I will not die, but live, And declare Yah's works.
18 Ref Yah has punished me severely, But he has not given me over to death.
19 Ref Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah.
20 Ref This is the gate of Yahweh; The righteous will enter into it.
21 Ref I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, And have become my salvation.
22 Ref The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
23 Ref This is Yahweh's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 Ref This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
25 Ref Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh; Yahweh, we beg you, now send prosperity.
26 Ref Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.
27 Ref Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
28 Ref You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
29 Ref Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his loving kindness endures forever.
