Chapter 118

O give thanks unto YHVH; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let them now that fear YHVH say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon YAH in distress: YAH answered me, and set me in a large place.

YHVH is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

YHVH taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

It is better to trust in YHVH than to put confidence in man.

It is better to trust in YHVH than to put confidence in princes.

All nations compassed me about: but in the name of YHVH will I destroy them.

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of YHVH I will destroy them.

They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of YHVH I will destroy them.

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but YHVH helped me.

YAH is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of YHVH doeth valiantly.

The right hand of YHVH is exalted: the right hand of YHVH doeth valiantly.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of YAH.

YAH hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise YAH:

This gate of YHVH, into which the righteous shall enter.

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

This is YHVH's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

This is the day which YHVH hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Save now, I beseech thee, O YHVH: O YHVH, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of YHVH: we have blessed you out of the house of YHVH.

EL is YHVH, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

Thou art my EL, and I will praise thee: thou art my ELOHIYM, I will exalt thee.

O give thanks unto YHVH; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
