Psalm 118
Literal Standard Version Par ▾ 
1Give thanks to YHWH, "" For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time.

2Now let Israel say, "" His kindness [is] for all time.

3Now let the house of Aaron say, "" His kindness [is] for all time.

4Now let those fearing YHWH say, "" His kindness [is] for all time.

5I called YAH from the narrow place, "" YAH answered me in a broad place.

6YHWH [is] for me, "" I do not fear what man does to me.

7YHWH [is] for me among my helpers, "" And I look on those hating me.

8Better to take refuge in YHWH, "" Than to trust in man,

9Better to take refuge in YHWH, "" Than to trust in princes.

10All nations have surrounded me, "" In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

11They have surrounded me, "" Indeed, they have surrounded me, "" In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

12They surrounded me as bees, "" They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, "" In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.

13You have severely thrust me to fall, "" And YHWH has helped me.

14YAH is my strength and song, "" And He is to me for salvation.

15A voice of singing and salvation, "" [Is] in the tents of the righteous, "" The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.

16The right hand of YHWH is exalted, "" The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.

17I do not die, but live, "" And recount the works of YAH,

18YAH has severely disciplined me, "" And has not given me up to death.

19Open gates of righteousness to me, "" I enter into them—I thank YAH.

20This [is] the gate to YHWH, "" The righteous enter into it.

21I thank You, for You have answered me, "" And are to me for salvation.

22A stone the builders refused "" Has become head of a corner.

23This has been from YHWH, "" It [is] wonderful in our eyes,

24This [is] the day YHWH has made, "" We rejoice and are glad in it.

25Ah, now, O YHWH, please save, "" Ah, now, O YHWH, please prosper.

26Blessed [is] He who is coming "" In the Name of YHWH, "" We blessed you from the house of YHWH,

27God [is] YHWH, and He gives light to us, "" Direct the festal-sacrifice with cords, "" To the horns of the altar.

28You [are] my God, and I confess You, "" My God, I exalt You.

29Give thanks to YHWH, "" For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!
