Psalms 118

PSAL. CXVIII.

1 O give thanks unto Yhwh; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Let them now that fear Yhwh say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon Yah in distress: Yah answered me, and set me in a large place. ^{▼▼ in distress: Heb. out of distress.} 6 Yhwh is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? ^{▼▼ on…: Heb. for me.} 7 Yhwh 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 Yhwh than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in Yhwh than to put confidence in princes. 10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of Yhwh will I destroy them. ^{▼▼ destroy…: Heb. cut them off.} 11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of Yhwh I will destroy them. 12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Yhwh I will destroy them. ^{▼▼ destroy: Heb. cut down.} 13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: But Yhwh helped me. 14 Yah 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 Yhwh doeth valiantly. 16 The right hand of Yhwh is exalted: the right hand of Yhwh doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Yah. 18 Yah 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 Yah: 20 This gate of Yhwh, into which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will praise thee: for thou hast 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 Yhwh's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. ^{▼▼ the Lord’s…: Heb. from the Lord.} 24 This is the day which Yhwh hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Yhwh: O Yhwh, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Yhwh: we have blessed you out of the house of Yhwh. 27 God is Yhwh, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 29 O give thanks unto Yhwh; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
