Ps 118

0 Psalm 118 1 Oh give thanks to YHWH; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endures] for ever. 2 Let Israel now say, That his lovingkindness [endures] for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, That his lovingkindness [endures] for ever. 4 Let them now that fear YHWH say, That his lovingkindness [endures] for ever. 5 Out of my distress I called upon YHWH: YHWH answered me [and set me] in a large place. 6 YHWH is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do to me? 7 YHWH is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in YHWH Than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in YHWH Than to put confidence in princes. 10 All nations compassed me about: In the name of YHWH I will cut them off. 11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: In the name of YHWH I will cut them off. 12 They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of YHWH I will cut them off. 13 You did thrust sore at me that I might fall; But YHWH helped me. 14 YHWH is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of YHWH does valiantly. 16 The right hand of YHWH is exalted: The right hand of YHWH does valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of YHWH. 18 YHWH has chastened me sore; 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 YHWH. 20 This is the gate of YHWH; The righteous shall enter into it. 21 I will give thanks to you; for you have answered me, And art become my salvation. 22 The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner. 23 This is YHWH`s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which YHWH has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, we beseech you, O YHWH: O YHWH, we beseech you, send now prosperity. 26 Blessed be he who comes in the name of YHWH: We have blessed you out of the house of YHWH. 27 YHWH 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 YHWH; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endures] for ever.
