NHEBME - Psalms - 118

118:1  Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

118:2  Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

118:3  Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

118:4  Now let those who fear the Lord say that his loving kindness endures forever.

118:5  Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.

118:6  The Lord is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

118:7  The Lord is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.

118:8  It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put confidence in man.

118:9  It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put confidence in princes.

118:10  All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord, I cut them off.

118:11  They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of the Lord I indeed cut them off.

118:12  They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of the Lord I cut them off.

118:13  You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but the Lord helped me.

118:14  Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.

118:15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

118:16  The right hand of the Lord is exalted! The right hand of the Lord does valiantly!"

118:17  I will not die, but live, and declare the works of Yah.

118:18  Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah.

118:20  This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter into it.

118:21  I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.

118:22  The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

118:23  This is the Lord's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.

118:24  This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!

118:25  Save us now, we beg you, Lord! Lord, we beg you, send prosperity now.

118:26  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

118:27  The Lord is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

118:28  You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.

118:29  Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
