| Chapter 118 |
1 | Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.
|
2 | Let Israel now say That his lovingkindness endures forever.
|
3 | Let the house of Aaron now say That his lovingkindness endures forever.
|
4 | Now let those who fear Yahweh say That his lovingkindness 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 the name of Yahweh, I cut them off.
|
11 | They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I indeed cut them off.
|
12 | They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of Yahweh 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 head of the corner.
|
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, now send prosperity.
|
26 | Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.
|
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 lovingkindness endures forever. Psalm 119 ALEPH
