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