Psalms

118 Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding is his lovingkindness.

2 I pray you! let Israel say, For age-abiding is his lovingkindness.

3 I pray you! let the house of Aaron say, For age-abiding is his lovingkindness.

4 I pray you! let them who revere Yahweh say, For age-abiding is his lovingkindness.

5 Out of a strait called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.

6 Yahweh is on my side, I will not fear, What can man do unto me?

7 Yahweh is on my side with them who help me, I therefore shall gaze upon them who hate me.

8 It is better to seek refuge in Yahweh Than to put confidence in man:

9 It is better to seek refuge in Yahweh Than to put confidence in nobles.

10 All nations have compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh surely I will make them be circumcised;

11 They have compassed me about—yea compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh surely I will make them be circumcised;

12 They have compassed me about like wax bees, They have blazed up like the fire of thorns, In the Name of Yahweh surely I will make them be circumcised.

13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall, But Yahweh hath helped me.

14 My might and melody is Yah, And he hath become mine by salvation.

15 The voice of shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Yahweh is doing valiantly:

16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted, The right hand of Yahweh is doing valiantly.

17 I shall not die but live, That I may recount the doings of Yah.

18 Yah chastened me sore, But unto death did not deliver me.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will enter therein, I will give thanks unto Yah.

20 This is the gate for Yahweh, Such as are righteous shall enter therein.

21 I will thank thee because thou hast answered me, And hast become mine by salvation.

22 A stone the builders refused Hath become the head of the corner:

23 From Yahweh hath this come to pass, The same is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which Yahweh hath made, We will exult and be glad therein.

25 Ah now, Yahweh, do save, we beseech thee, Ah now, Yahweh, do send success, we beseech thee!

26 Blessed be he that entereth In the Name of Yahweh, We have blessed you Out of the house of Yahweh.

27 Yahweh is God And hath shed on us light,—Bind ye the festal sacrifice with cords, Up to the horns of the altar.

28 My God thou art and I will thank thee,—My Elohim I will exalt thee.

29 Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding is his lovingkindness.
