Psalm 118 (WEBP)

[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.
